About the book

Suspenseful and hilarious, this novel is an outrageously imaginative thriller for readers who like their espionage with a dollop of purple slime. Myfanwy Thomas awakens in a London park surrounded by dead bodies. With her memory gone, she must trust the instructions left by her former in order to survive. She quickly learns that she is a Rook, a high-level operative in a secret agency that protects the world from supernatural threats. But there is a mole inside the organization, and this person wants her dead. Battling to save herself, Myfanwy will encounter a person with four bodies, a woman who can enter her dreams, children transformed into deadly fighters, and terrifyingly vast conspiracy. "Utterly convincing and engrossing—totally thought-through and frequently hilarious." —Lev Grossman, Time Magazine
