DESCRIPTION

A gripping historical fantasy horror steeped in mystery, romance and the macabre
Circle of Shadows is a suspenseful, gothic historical fantasy following Evie Winstanley, a young woman hell-bent on investigating her father's death . and exposing the dangerous men and perilous magic behind it

SHERLOCK HOLMES DIDN'T DEAL WITH THE SUPERNATURAL. EVIE WINSTANLEY DOES.

'Everything I want from dark academia' Susan J. Morris

'A terrifically engaging tale of supernatural goings-on' Tim Major

It's 1904, and being a detective - let alone an occult detective - is no profession for a woman. But that won't stop Evie Winstanley.

When her father, a collector of occult books, dies in strange circumstances, Evie is determined to investigate. Her only lead: a cryptic mention of the 'Circle of Shadows.' From a chilling séance on the lonely Yorkshire moors to the sinister, hedonistic halls of Oxford's elite, Evie hunts for answers, stalked by whispers of an ancient monster and an ever-shifting, ominous symbol.

But when a young woman's body surfaces in the Cherwell, bearing that same mark, Evie uncovers a truth far more terrifying than a single murder. Now, Evie isn't just seeking justice; she's fighting to save her sister, in a dark and twisted adventure where gilded boys unleash hell and defiant women must pick up the pieces. Nothing will stop her investigation, not outraging Edwardian notions of female propriety, and certainly not offers of romance.

Blending historical fantasy with Golden Age classic crime, Circle of Shadows is a dark and twisty adventure through an occult Edwardian England where wealthy boys toy with powers they don't understand, and a lone woman takes a stand against them.


NETGALLEY READERS LOVE CIRCLE OF SHADOWS!

'If you're looking for an eerie, gothic, historical fantasy packed with secrets, suspense, and a dash of horror, then Circle of Shadows is for you'

'An eerie and evocative Edwardian occult mystery, with a wonderful protagonist in Evie'

'A suspenseful historical fantasy'

'Plenty of twists and an all round great story. I hope there will be more books featuring Evie!'
