Carey, author of the best-selling The Girl With All the Gifts "Compelling... the love child of Gormenghast and Hogwarts." --The Guardian 1558: Twelve children, gifted far beyond their years, are banished by their Tudor queen to the town of Rotherweird.

Then an Outsider arrives, a man of unparalleled wealth and power, enough to buy the whole of Rotherweird--deeply buried secrets and all...
