Positively and dynamically different, this debut provokes and challenges your interest from the first few pages. Although classed as fantasy, it doesn't feel as though it should be exclusively pigeon-holed as such, there are so many things that are recognisable, it’s entirely possible that this could be just a few years into our future.
While being enveloped in authenticity, an edgy and intimidating new world is actually laid bare before your very eyes. The provocative fiery ending doesn't neatly tie all the loose ends together, a sneaky few are left to burrow, to retreat, to steal away… leaving the doors wide open for a sequel to this stimulating and tensely moving novel. ~ Liz Robinson
Rose Elmsworth has a secret. For eighteen years, the world has been divided into the magically Gifted and the non-magical Ashkind, but Rose's identity is far more dangerous. At fifteen, she has earned herself a place alongside her father in the Department, a brutal law-enforcement organisation run by the Gifted to control the Ashkind.
