"If you liked The Wasp Factory, meet Little Eve"

"A smart and moving examination of self-entrapment and the lengths people are willing to go to maintain their faith... I read it breathlessly" - Kiran Millwood Hargrave.

"A wonderful literary gothic fairy tale" - Sarah Pinborough.

"Where is Evelyn? Oh, I remember. She took our eyes."

The story takes place on New Year's Day 1921, when seven mutilated bodies are discovered in an ancient stone circle on a remote Scottish isle. The victims are "the Children" - members of a nature-worshipping cult run by the charismatic and sadistic patriarch, the brother.

The sole survivor of the massacre, Dina, claims that Evelyn is the murderer, seemingly drowned as she tried to escape. However, as Evelyn's story in the years leading up to the slaughter intertwines with Dina's recounting of the events that followed, a darker and stranger truth begins to emerge.

The Island is all Evelyn knows. Hidden from the world, the Children worship the Great Serpent that dwells in the ocean, dance on the stones at dawn, and offer their blood in sacrifice. The brother's word is law. When Evelyn is forced to enter the world beyond the Island, her faith and love are tested by unexpected friendships that force her to question everything.

As she begins to see through the brother's macabre fantasies, the world Evelyn knows collapses. Does she lose her humanity along with her faith? Does this drive her to kill?

Little Eve is an exceptional, utterly gripping story that grabs you by the collar and doesn't let go. A dark, beautiful, polished novel. I loved it" - Irenosen Okojie.

"Little Eve is pitch-perfect, wonderfully written, and full of surprises. It has perfect pacing, line by line" - Andrew Cowan, author of PIG and WORTHLESS MEN.

"Little Eve brims with dark energy, full of subversive and unusual twists. You will be guessing and gasping until the end" - Philip Womack.
