"He was just standing there smiling up at me. That was when I knew it was all his fault."
A powerful and eerie tale of loss, revenge and one girl's fight against the world.
Josie and her family have always been treated as outsiders. Unable to fit in amongst the gypsy community or their neighbours, she is isolated in the countryside. Targeted by bullies, Josie grew up without the ability to defend herself. But when she loses everyone she holds dear, Josie must overcome her grief to protect herself and her land from those out to hurt her.
Praise for Sara Sheridan and other works:
'...the books are written by proven teenager writers and are fast moving, straightforward and appealing.' - Inform
'a thriller for a new generation . . . Sara Sheridan will go far' - Harpers & Queen
'in a genre where we usually find polemic, melodrama or worthy-but-predictable tragedy, Sheridan has written a proper, character-driven novel... a pessimistic exploration of how ordinary and even good people, once locked into a certain mind-set, can do blatantly evil things yet think them good and right... so well written you never notice the writing' - Glasgow Herald
Genre: Young Adult Fantasy
