Synopsis
A masterfully captivating Gothic fantasy standalone full of murder, family secrets, and a mysterious succession trial from the author of The Unspoken Name, perfect for fans of The Tainted Cup, The Raven Scholar and One Dark Window.
The Mallory-Blythe cousins have been summoned to their ancestral home by the Banisher, their great-aunt Sophia. Whoever can survive on the island for ten days and ten nights will inherit her house, her title and her magic.
But the island is riddled with ghosts and worse, and the cousins have their own scores to settle. By the time ten days are up, almost everyone on the island will be dead.
The only surviving witness is Kit Lanyer, a petty criminal and self-proclaimed bystander. The time has come, she says, to tell the truth.

Takes all the tropes of fantasy and spins them into something wild and new. A dizzy, delicious debut
A perfect fantasy debut
The Unspoken Name has everything - spine-tingling prose, gorgeous worldbuilding, powerful older women, found family (but it's terrible), and true love. It's fantastic
Great fun - fantasy with an epic sweep in a gorgeously drawn universe
