Circle of Shadows

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

Description

Private detection is no profession for a woman of standing. Evie Winstanley doesn't care.

When Evie's father, a collector of occult books, dies in suspicious circumstances, she decides to uncover the truth. Her only clue is a mysterious reference to the 'circle of shadows.' Her investigation takes her from a séance in a manor house on the Yorkshire moors to a sinister cult hidden amongst the elite of an Oxford University college... and all the while, she is haunted by whispers of an ancient monster, and an ominous, ever-changing symbol.

When the body of a young woman is discovered floating in the Cherwell, marked with the same occult symbol, Evie realises that her investigation is far bigger than one death - and that her own life, and the lives of those she loves, might very well be in danger...

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 women are forced to pick up the pieces. Perfect for fans of Sarah Painter, Michelle Paver, and Laura Shepherd-Robinson.
