Description
Clod lives in a vast sea of lost and discarded items, known as the Heaps, where the air is thick with whispers. At the center of this maze is Heap House, a puzzle of houses, castles, and mysteries that seem to shift and change. Clod is an Iremonger, a member of a hardworking but cruel family, but he has a secret: he can hear the objects whispering to him. The voices are loud and urgent, and Clod is not sure what they're trying to tell him. A new arrival, Lucy Pennant, has just joined the Heaps, and Clod's world is turned upside down. As the secrets of Heap House begin to unravel, Clod must navigate a complex web of whispers, warnings, and hidden truths. But with the Iremongers growing restless and the whispers getting louder, Clod's world is on the brink of collapse. As the storm clouds gather over Heap House, Clod must confront the dark truth that has been hiding in plain sight. Will he be able to find a way to silence the whispers and restore order to his world, or will the Heaps consume him whole?
