A mind-blowing murder mystery on a ship full of magical passengers. If Agatha Christie wrote fantasy, this would be it!
To mark the thousandth year of peace in the Empire of Concordia, the emperor's ship embarks upon a twelve-day voyage. Aboard are the heirs of the twelve provinces of Concordia, each graced with a unique magical ability known as a Blessing.
Except one: Ganymedes Piscero.
When a beloved heir is murdered, everyone is a suspect. Stuck at sea and surrounded by powerful people, odds of survival are slim. But as the bodies pile higher, Ganymedes must become the hero he was not born to be and unmask the killer before he ends up the next victim of their bloody crusade.

For fans of Natalie Haynes, Kiran Millwood-Hargrave and Neil Gaiman
comes Frances Hardinge’s spectacular novel Unraveller. Called her
‘best yet’ by the Guardian, and ‘sheer perfection’ and ‘a
masterpiece’ by reviewers, Hardinge expertly weaves together
mythology and mystery in a meticulously-detailed world besieged by
curses. If you must travel to the country of Raddith, then be
prepared. Bring a mosquito net for the lowlands, and a warm coat
for the hills or mountains. If you mean to visit the misty
marsh-woods known as the Wilds, you will need stout, waterproof
boots. (You will also needs wits, courage and luck, but some things
cannot be packed.) You have of course heard that some people in
Raddith are able to curse their enemies. It sounded so picturesque
when you were reading about it at home, like a fairytale. Perhaps
you will decide that all the stories of the Wilds and the Raddith
cursers were invented to entertain tourists. And at night, when you
see a many-legged shape scuttle across the ceiling of your
bedchamber, you will tell yourself that it is a spider, and only a
spider . . . . . . It is not. In a world where anyone can create
life-destroying curses, only one person has the power to unravel
them. Kellen does not fully understand his talent, but uses it to
help those who have been cursed, including his ally and closest
friend, Nettle. But Kellen himself is cursed, and unless he and
Nettle can release him, he is in danger of unravelling everything -
and everyone - around him. ----- ‘Exquisite . . . sheer
perfection’– Liz Hyder ‘Brilliant’ – The Guardian ‘A
gloriously creepy, intricate masterpiece’ - Adrian Tchaikovsky
‘Dark and delicious’ – Katherine Rundell ‘Spellbinding’
– Katherine Woodfine ‘Instantly engrossing, effortlessly
clever, and completely magical’ – Freya Marske
‘Mesmerising’ – Hilary McKay 'Everyone should read Frances
Hardinge. Everyone. Right now.' – Patrick Ness
