SHORT BLURB:

Come back across the border. The dark enchanted forest awaits...

Continuing immediately where The Shade Between Shadows ended, The Road Through Night follows the mute Beatrice deeper into Nightland. But as she unravels one mystery, another only grows...

Featuring threads of almost 30 fairy tales, steeped in history and Gothic classics, and filled with original illustrations, prepare to experience Victorian Britain like never before.


BLURB:

The worst people aren't the ones who terrorise you. It's the ones who make you fall in love with terrorising yourself.



Beatrice, Gretchen and Anselm have escaped their captivity in Thornvale, but their ordeal is far from over. They soon find themselves in the company of Rosahild: a formidable veteran of the Napoleonic Wars, intent on rescuing her sister Princess Alba.



Journeying north to the Ravenswood, new friendships are made and love blossoms under the shadowy trees. Beatrice learns how to fly and defend herself, yet more mysteries begin to weave around her. Will she ever know freedom? What is her true identity? Are there others with her ability to see souls?



For even in the wilderness, danger is never far away. As the Midnight War rekindles and the Fitcher princes seek her, Beatrice will need all her strength to survive this dark, dangerous world.
