Something has awoken, and now it will not rest. The Leviathan is a beguiling, atmospheric tale of superstition, myth and murder, set in seventeenth century England, from a major new voice in literary fiction. It is a tale of family and loyalty, superstition and sacrifice, but most of all it is a spellbinding story of impossible things. For fans of "The Essex Serpent", "The Mermaid and Mrs Hancock" and "The Binding".
