'Ward's most complex and brilliant book yet' - GUARDIAN 'A darkly
moving and heartfelt exploration of obsession' - DAILY EXPRESS
Writers are monsters. We eat everything we see... In a windswept
cottage overlooking the sea, Wilder Harlow begins the last book he
will ever write. It is the story of his childhood companions and
the shadowy figure of the Daggerman, who stalked the New England
town where they spent their summers. Of a horror that has followed
Wilder through the decades. And of Sky, Wilder's one-time friend,
who stole his unfinished memoir and turned it into a lurid
bestselling novel, The Sound and the Dagger. This book will be
Wilder's revenge on Sky, who betrayed his trust and died without
ever telling him why. But as he writes, Wilder begins to find notes
written in Sky's signature green ink, and events in his manuscript
start to chime eerily with the present. Is Sky haunting him? And
who is the dark-haired woman drowning in the cove, whom no one else
can see? No longer able to trust his own eyes, Wilder feels his
grip on reality slipping. And he begins to fear that this will not
only be his last book, but the last thing he ever does.

'Where is Evelyn? Oh, I remember. She took our eyes.' Winner of the
British Fantasy Award for Best Horror and the Shirley Jackson Award
for Best Novel. New Year's Day, 1921. Seven mutilated bodies are
discovered in an ancient stone circle on a remote Scottish island.
The victims are 'the Children' - members of a nature cult ruled by
the charismatic, sadistic patriarch, the adder. The sole survivor
of the massacre, Dinah, claims that Eve is the murderer, apparently
drowned while attempting her escape. Yet as Eve's story of the
years leading up the massacre intertwines with Dinah's account of
the aftermath, a darker, stranger truth begins to emerge. The Isle
is all Eve knows. Hidden from the world, the Children worship the
Great Snake who dwells in the ocean, dance in the stones at dawn
and offer their blood in sacrifice. The adder's word is law. When
Eve is forced into the world beyond the Isle her faith and love are
tested by unexpected friendships that make her question everything.
As she begins to see through the adder's macabre fictions, the
world Eve knows collapses. Does she lose her humanity with her
belief? Does it drive her to kill? A heart-pounding literary
thriller with a devastating twist.
