SACRIFICE AND REBELLION: CLAIRE MABEY AND RACHAEL KING
Advertisement
Two new novels for young people take readers into imaginary worlds where tyranny holds an iron grip.
Claire Mabey’s The Raven’s Eye Rebellion returns her fans to the medieval world of Wyle, where reading and writing are forbidden.
Rachael King’s folk horror fantasy Song of the Saltings unfolds on the isolated isle of Brack, where a creature that haunts the salt marshes demands an annual sacrifice.
Join these two beloved authors in conversation with Elizabeth Knox, as they discuss these stories of courage and resistance.
Writers on Mondays is presented by the International Institute of Modern Letters and The Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa. The 2026 series will run from 12.15—1.15 pm each Monday from 6 July to 28 September at Te Papa and Circa Theatre, with two special evening sessions at Meow. Admission is free and all are welcome. The series is supported by the Letteri family.
