Description
Kate Winters' life was forever changed ten years ago when her parents were taken by the High Council's wardens to help with the country's war effort. Now, they are back - as prisoners, including Kate's uncle Artemis - and are being transported south on the terrifying Night Train. But Kate is not alone in her perilous journey; she is also being hunted by a far more dangerous enemy. Silas Dane, the High Council's most feared man, recognises Kate as one of the Skilled - a rare group of people able to see through the veil between the living and the dead. His spirit was damaged by the High Council's experiments into the veil, and he believes that Kate can undo the damage and allow him to find peace. The knowledge Kate needs lies within Wintercraft, a book thought to be hidden deep beneath the graveyard city of Fume. As the Night of Souls approaches, when the veil between life and death is at its thinnest, Kate must navigate her treacherous world and uncover the secrets of Wintercraft before it falls into the wrong hands.
