A fight for survival against torrential flooding and local superstition from the Queen of Historical Fiction.
Somerset, 1616. When Fortune Sharpe carves a boat from a tree with her beloved brother, Jem, she’s only having a bit of fun. But now is not the time for a girl to be drawing attention to herself and she is sent away to find work dressed as a boy. Luckily a rich manor house is hiring.
Yet Berrow Hall’s inhabitants harbour dangerous secrets of their own; the suspicious owner is hunting for witches and the house itself is a little too close to the sea …
'An adventure story packed full to the brim with drama – and just the right amount of shivery, fearsome delight.'
Kirkus Reviews
‘Historical fiction at its finest’
The Bookseller
‘Emma Carroll rightfully owns the title "Queen of Historical Fiction'
BookTrust
‘Emma Carroll is the Hilary Mantel of children's fiction’
The Telegraph
‘I like the way she just wove interesting ideas and historical facts into an entertaining and gripping storyline.’
The Guardian
