The terrifying sequel to Deep Dark, the Times Children’s Book of the Week from the enchanting storyteller Zohra Nabi, brings another fantasy adventure of Cassia Thorne – this is Enola Holmes with a supernatural twist!

She held the hagstone and noticed something strange – a bright light like small, tangled constellations. It was as if something was shining from the girls. Cassia Thorne uncovered a conspiracy in the deep dark underbelly of London involving a mythical beast, but now her uncle has taken her to Ravening Hall, a bleak boarding school on the moors of Lancashire. Far from everything she once knew, Cassia tries to find her place among the schoolgirls – torn between fitting in with the perfect head girls and the rebellious, wild Martha Torrent. And something bad is happening at the school. At night, there is a strange presence in Cassia’s room that is growing stronger every day. She spies on older girls wandering the moors at night. And the local children are frightened by a witch who eats children and haunts Pendle Hill. Suspecting yet another supernatural mystery, Cassia begins to investigate. Are the stories about the Pendle Hill witches true? And what do they want with the girls of Ravening Hall?
