The world had forgotten Mr Crowe and his mysterious gifts. Until he killed the poet.
He lived a secluded life in the fading grandeur of his country estate. His companions were his faithful manservant and his ward, Clara, a silent, bookish girl who has gifts of her own.
Now Dr Chastern, the leader of a secret society, arrives at the estate to call Crowe to account and keep his powers in check. But it is Clara's even greater gifts that he comes to covet most.
She must learn to use them quickly, if she is to save them all.

Recensione:
[With much] in common with Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell ... a tale about magic and art, power and responsibility ... [that will] keep the reader enfolded (DAILY MAIL)
It would not be surprising if the public clamours for a second instalment of this vividly imagined and deeply pleasurable gothic fantasy - not to mention a film. (FINANCIAL TIMES)
The prose in O'Donnell's first novel is glorious, combining an ear for deep cadences of language with a phenomenal acuity of vision ... O'Donnell is clearly a major talent (THE GUARDIAN)
Poetic and strange, this Gothic novel is a dark, elegant celebration of the power and beauty of words and the spells they weave. (SUNDAY EXPRESS)
Strange and new and captivating (THE INDEPENDENT)
A charming, lyrical read even when tension is high. I admired the depth of O'Donnell's imagination, which allowed him to conjure up this enthralling tale . . . A literary feast (STYLIST)
A powerful thriller (VOGUE)
Wonderfully dark, magical (ELLE)
Strange and beautiful - one of Stylist's Essential Reads for 2016 (STYLIST)
A fabulously assured, elegant Gothic-flavoured tale (WOMAN AND HOME)
