"Dark, atmospheric, and full of suspense... a completely captivating gothic mystery" - Bea Fitzgerald, bestselling author of "Girl, Goddess, Queen".

Fears gain power when things in our world are broken. A bone. A promise. A heart.

Since her first encounter with the 'Fears', Alice has hidden behind the walls of her family’s guesthouse in Whitby. Only her beloved sister, Lucille, knows why: Alice can see things - horrible and terrifying - in the dark corners of our world. Shadow-monsters that will do anything to satisfy their violent desires - and nothing seems able to stop them. Of course, no one would believe them if they told - so the girls remain silent.

That is, until Lucille disappears and the boy she loved also goes missing. All this coincides with the arrival of Austin - a charming young actor from London, who claims a demon has stolen his voice and only Alice can help him.

Faced with a world and powers she didn’t even know existed, Alice must race against time to save her sister, herself, and perhaps the only other person who has ever cared for her. As well as send one or two demons back where they came from...
