After foreseeing a family tragedy and being ostracized, Faith learns to control her visions, and returns to perform in her family’s traveling carnival. But when an unruly customer attacks her, she has a vision in full view of a crowd.

She is banned from the carnival she loves—and loses her only source of income to support her dying mother. Desperate to support her mother and with only one friend standing by her, she sees no reason to continue hiding her ability and goes to dangerous lengths to earn money.

Like a fairground ride, this story spins us round with different versions of the truth and a dizzying sense of terror. A captivating tale, which will tantalise you until the very last page." - Jane Bailey

"Melanie Golding is brilliant, and each book is even better than the last! The Sight is a tense, twisty suspense novel full of painful family drama, delicious dread, circus hijinks, and suspicious deaths. I loved it!" - Christopher Golden

"A deftly plotted slow-burn mystery set against the backdrop of a struggling circus, The Sight is full of surprising heart, with an imperfect heroine you can't help but root for.
