DESCRIPTION

A stunning gothic-horror romantasy, Half a Dark Heart is perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo, Cassandra Clare and Sarah Waters.

"Haunting, atmospheric and suspenseful . a completely captivating gothic mystery" - Bea Fitzgerald, bestselling author of Girl, Goddess, Queen


The Horrors gain strength when things in our world are broken.

A bone. A promise. A heart.


Ever since she first encountered 'The Horrors', Alice has hidden herself safely behind the walls of her family's Whitby guest house. Only her beloved sister, Lucille, knows why: that Alice can see things - gruesome, terrible things - in the darkest corners of our world. Shadow-monsters which will do anything to satisfy their violent cravings - and seemingly nothing can stop them. Of course, no one would believe them if they told them - and so the girls stay silent.

That is, until Lucille goes missing, and the boy she was in love disappears too. All of which coincides with the arrival of Austin - a dashing young actor from London, who claims a demon has stolen his voice, and only Alice can help him.

Faced with a world and powers she never even knew existed, Alice must race against time to save her sister, herself, and perhaps the only other person who's ever cared about her. As well as send a demon or two back to where they came from .

"The atmospheric horromantasy I’ve been craving!" - Laura Steven, bestselling author of Our Infinite Fates
