Description
Myfanwy Thomas wakes in a London park with no memory, surrounded by corpses, and must rely on cryptic instructions from her former self to survive. She discovers she is a Rook—a powerful operative within a covert organization tasked with protecting the world from supernatural threats—but a dangerous mole within the agency is determined to kill her. As Myfanwy races to uncover her identity and expose the traitor, she encounters an array of bizarre adversaries: a person inhabiting four bodies, a woman who infiltrates dreams, weaponized children, and the terrifying scope of a vast conspiracy. Blending high-stakes espionage with darkly comic absurdity, this inventive thriller delivers suspense, humor, and genuinely imaginative worldbuilding that will captivate readers seeking spy fiction with a supernatural twist. A gripping and hilarious debut that proves espionage thrillers can be both intellectually engaging and wildly entertaining.
