What to expect
'A delicious sequel, full of supernatural intrigue' GREG MOSSE
'A wonderful sequel . . . Here's to many more adventures!' TIM MAJOR
December 1904. Evie has set up an occult detective agency in Bloomsbury. But supernatural cases are thin on the ground - especially for a woman. But that won't stop her.
She's almost out of money when Arthur Conan Doyle appears with a case: to investigate the recent horrifying deaths of members of the Ghost Club, a secret society devoted to the paranormal.
Pulled into a world of spectres and secrets, Evie turns to Kit - a reluctant psychic whom she once turned down. He wants nothing to do with the supernatural, but as the bodies mount and the veil between worlds thins, Evie needs him. And perhaps, despite himself, Kit needs her too.
Together, they uncover a conspiracy that extends from wild parties in Belgravia to the shabby streets of Soho. Behind it all lurks a dangerous occult magician, ready to destroy anyone who gets in his way. He knows what Evie's capable of. And it seems he has a plan - to lead her down with him into darkness.
Domain of Darkness is a chilling gothic steeped in yearning, menace, and the world of the unseen. Blending historical fantasy with a dark detective adventure, this is perfect for readers who love suspenseful reads and to be kept awake with a dash of horror.
Critics Review
-
A riveting tale of dark magic - our intrepid occult detective, Evie Winstanley, does more than out-think Sherlock, she defends his creator, Conan Doyle, and proves that not all forces can be defeated by logical deduction. Sometimes you need raw courage and knowledge of how to defend yourself and others against the dark powers. Look no further for your next detective story.
Julia Golding, author of the Cat Royal series, and The Companions Quartet.
-
A wonderful sequel that amps up all of the aspects readers will have loved in Circle of Shadows. While steeped in classic Victorian Gothic fiction, the tone of Domain of Darkness is wry and the stakes are resolutely human despite the presence of the supernatural. Here's to many more adventures featuring Evie Winstanley and her team of occult investigators!
Tim Major, author of Jekyll & Hyde: Consulting Detectives series and the Sherlock Holmes novel The Back to Front Murder
-
A delicious sequel, full of supernatural intrigue, half-way between Enola Holmes and Dennis Wheatley.
Greg Mosse, author of A French Village Mystery series and A Maisie Cooper Mystery series
-
Domain of Darkness continues the adventures of the sparky and engaging Miss Winstanley. A Victorian heroine, and feminist role model for the present day.
Sue Bentley, author of We Other
