Publisher's Summary

"The end always happens faster than you think."

Once there were hundreds of members of the Oversight, the brave souls who guard the borders between the mundane and the magic. Now there are only five.

When a vagabond brings a screaming girl to the Oversight's London headquarters, she could answer their hopes for new recruit, or she could be the instrument of their downfall.

What the critics say

"Fletcher's Victorian London is juicily vivid, and laced with macabre wit. There's a real sense of grim danger, both natural and unnatural, hungrily awaiting the slightest mis-step." ( Frances Hardinge on The Oversight)

Cracking Read!

I heard about this book in a Reddit thread about urban fantasy and thought I’d give it a go. No regrets! It’s highly original, entertaining and creative with great characters! I was hooked from the get-go till the end!
