Joseph Elliott

Joseph Elliott is a British author of young-adult fantasy, known for the Shadow Skye Trilogy, comprising The Good Hawk (2020), The Broken Raven (2021), and The Burning Swift (2022). Set in a Scottish-inspired archipelago under looming invasion, the trilogy follows two young islanders, one autistic and one with Down syndrome, whose community casts them aside as unfit for battle even as they become central to its survival. Elliott's fiction is notable for centering disabled protagonists within high-stakes epic fantasy adventure, and for its grounding in Scottish Gaelic-influenced worldbuilding and clan culture.
