The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men should do nothing.” Edmund Burke
Fourteen-year-old Evie Mycroft isn’t the sort of girl to do nothing when she sees injustice and evil. She’s a rebel, an eco-warrior, a freedom fighter, a feminist. Or at least, she would be, if she could escape her own insecurity and free the strength she knows lies within her.
Then she arrives home from school one day to find everything changed. Her family, her friends, her school, the town she lives in – even how she looks. Everything! To make matters worse, something monstrous lies beyond the town and it’s coming ominously closer. Only a persecuted minority, the Maa-Ghut, seem to understand. And what can they do?
It’s time for Evie to step up. If she can.
