KEY SELLING POINTS

Packed full of humour and delicious surprises, ØRMA is a SFF take on modern living and how hard it is to be
human in the 21st century.
Ambiguous names, gender fluidity and absent pronouns allow readers to recognise themselves in the
characters, discover their own preconceptions and challenge societal stereotypes.
The first book in the Mandolin series.

We grow tired of waiting for you to go extinct.

When an extraordinary superspecies emerges in Afghanistan, humans do what they do best: declare war and
make a reality TV show.

Half a world away, Hollow Quinn forsakes the safety of civilian life and volunteers to join the British army. Her
only friend Ezra Blake justifies the decision not to enlist, taking solace in a gothic revival anomaly full of
magical innovation, mystical intrigue and self-aware furniture. But when Hollow grabs a starring role in a TV
reality show based at a frontline field hospital, Ezra is forced to watch Hollow’s career spiral through a
landscape of global fame, national duty and personal treason. And as their lives intersect, the two friends
discover the terrifying consequences of WØLF. A reality TV show created for war, and designed for public
entertainment.

Placing the reader both inside and outside of the story, ØRMA holds the delicate ground between reality and
fantasy. Set against a backdrop of desert warfare, gothic architecture and office gossip, this is a story about
two unlikely friends who change the course of a war by missing a bus.

Jac Forsyth grew up in Wiltshire. She spent most of her childhood running around ancient monuments and
programming computers. As an SFF writer, Jac’s characters tend to be strong, gloriously complicated women
who would not be friends with Jac.
