Join us as we sit down with the legendary author of The Old Kingdom series, Garth Nix! We go beyond how his writing and dreaming has changed in the years since we were first introduced to Sabriel.
You'll find us chatting all about what's been and what may yet come and chat all about what on earth is YA even anyway? We also spill all about Garth's forthcoming 2026 sci-fi, Massif and 2027's Even-Handed Booksellers of Edinburgh in this almost hour long fireside chat.
So grab yourself a tea, or something stronger and go beyond the wall with us.
