Genre Fiction for Young People
From the author of The Mistmantle Chronicles comes this gripping story of a young man who moves with his family to a small English village.
When Calum and his family move into his great-aunt's house in Beckerton, England, he is eager to join in with village life. He especially looks forward to the local festival, the Octave of Angels. But not all the villagers welcome strangers, and Calum soon discovers that the village's dark secret involves his own family. Afraid that the people in Beckerton may never really accept him, Calum tries to solve the mystery. But what is the connection between the Octave of Angels and the death of a young gypsy girl on the moors a hundred years ago? If Calum does find out the truth, will anyone believe him? And if they believe him, will it make a difference in how they treat others?
