Description
From the author of the Branford Boase long-listed debut The Whisperling, comes the next twist in the legacy. Gloucestershire, 1918. We whisperlings are the living voice for the dead. It's always been so. But not everyone likes it... Whisperling twin sisters Violet and Clemency run regular 'Messaging' sessions at their mam's canal-side pub. People come from far and wide to hear from their fathers, brothers, sons, all now ghosts of the men who died in the 'great' war. The sisters are happy to do their bit, and the service they provide is welcomed by all. That is until whisperlings begin to go missing. Girls with the special ability to speak with the dead, are disappearing without a trace. And perhaps what had been a prized gift is once again becoming a reason for whisperling persecution. The girls are afraid but have each other...until Clemency becomes one of the missing. The only option Violet has is to follow her sister's trail by entering a murky underworld beneath the cobbled streets of Gloucester to find her twin, and perhaps more than they've ever bargained for.
