Incredible! I'd probably buy the book just from seeing that cover (I'm like that
). And I've always thought that the Manticore is a fascinating creature - something I was intending to use in some of my own work at some point.
Might seem like a stupid qestion Kelpie, but does this mean that one will feature in the book? (Though I've bought the Hidden Stars I haven't read it yet, so I don't know if you've already introduced these into your world).
