Charlie and Marlowe are pursued by a man made of shadow in this intricate offering from J.M. Miro.

It is easy to fall in love with Miro’s characters as they traverse a slightly sinister estate house in a moody Scottish landscape…where children from all over the world with mysterious powers have gathered. The line between good and evil is blurred as Victorian Britain heads towards a collision with the dark underworld. Bonus: This book contains the best railway fight scene I’ve ever read. – Liv
