Overview
Dive beneath the waves with the Ingo Chronicles, Helen Dunmore's five-book saga of sea, family, and two worlds colliding. Set on the wild Cornish coast, the series follows Sapphire and her brother Conor as they discover Ingo, a hidden underwater realm of Mer people, tides, and old magic. Across five novels, loyalties are tested and the boundary between land and sea grows ever thinner. Dunmore's lyrical prose and richly imagined mythology have made this an enduring favorite for young fantasy readers. This complete paperback set brings the whole story together in one collection.

About the Books
The Ingo Chronicles began with Ingo, introducing Sapphire and Conor, two Cornish siblings whose father vanishes at sea, leading them to discover Ingo, a hidden underwater world governed by the Mer people. As the series unfolds through The Tide Knot, The Deep, The Crossing of Ingo, and Stormswept, Dunmore expands this submerged mythology, weaving in family loyalty, first love, environmental change, and the pull between human life on land and the ancient call of the ocean. Sapphire is drawn deeper into Ingo through her bond with Faro, a Mer boy, while Conor's own ties to Ingo complicate the siblings' relationship and challenge them both to choose where they truly belong. Storms, floods, and shifting Cornish tides become more than backdrop; they mirror the emotional currents pulling the characters between two worlds. Dunmore, an acclaimed novelist and poet, brings a poet's ear for language to this fantasy series, grounding fantastical elements in vivid descriptions of coastline, current, and creature. Each installment raises the stakes, moving from quiet discovery to genuine peril. Widely read by middle-grade fantasy fans, the series is praised for its atmospheric writing and thoughtful exploration of belonging and loss. This five-book paperback collection lets readers experience Sapphire's full journey between Cornwall and Ingo from beginning to end, making it an ideal introduction for new fans and a nostalgic reread for longtime followers of the series.
