Beloved New Zealand writer Elizabeth Knox is back with her first young adult novel in 12 years.
Kings of This World follows a group of teenagers with unique powers - it's a boarding school story, a crime thriller, and a complex fantasy rolled into one.
And it's a return to her imagined South Pacific continent, Southland, at once foreign and familiar and which has featured in three of her previous books, Dreamhunter, Dreamquake, and Mortal Fire.
Elizabeth has written novels, autobiographical novellas, and personal essays, and she teaches world building in creative writing at Te Herenga Waka Victoria University of Wellington.
