2017 | Science Fiction/Fantasy

'Everyone should read Frances Hardinge. Everyone. Right now.' - Patrick Ness

'Hardinge is a talent who deserves to be read by children and adults alike' - Guardian

When a creature dies, its spirit can go looking for somewhere to hide.

Some people have space inside them, perfect for hiding.

Makepeace, a courageous girl with a mysterious past, defends herself nightly from the ghosts which try to possess her. Then a dreadful event causes her to drop her guard for a moment.

And now there's a ghost inside her.

The spirit is wild, brutish and strong, but it may be her only defence in a time of dark suspicion and fear. As the English Civil War erupts, Makepeace must decide which is worse: possession – or death.
