What to expect
When Lewis's family moves to a faraway town called Barrow, he can't quite put his finger on what feels so strange about his new home. Everyone is obsessed with superstition, and an old story about floods and witches and a curse, while a mysterious bird watches his every move.
Then his family friend Moira arrives to stay. Only, there's something peculiar about Moira too. She doesn't know where she's from, or even when she's from, and strange things happen around her. Lewis and Moira are determined to figure out what's going on in Barrow, but as they unravel secret symbols, riddles and stories of a midnight curse, they find that there might be some truth in the old town tales.
Time is running out, before magic switches up everything they know...
