The Ransom of Dond
Siobhan Dowd et Pam Smy2013

Wonderfully atmospheric, this is the haunting story of Darra - who, as the thirteenth child to be born to her mother, is destined to be sacrificed to Dond, the dark god of the underworld. On the day she turns thirteen she'll be rowed out to sea, where she will leap overboard with a rock tied to her ankle. She can't think of a worse birthday present.
