      'Weird and wild and wonderfully unsettling... Dive in for just a moment and you'll emerge gasping and haunted' Celeste Ng, bestselling author of Little Fires Everywhere It's been sixteen years since Gretel last saw her mother, half a lifetime to forget her childhood on the canals. But a phone call will soon reunite them, and bring those wild years flooding back: the secret language that Gretel and her mother invented; the strange boy, Marcus, living on the boat that final winter; the creature said to be underwater, swimming ever closer. In the end there will be nothing for Gretel to do but to wade deeper into their past, where family secrets and aged prophesies will all come tragically alive again. 'As readable as it is dazzling, full of unsettling twists and dark revelations' Observer **SHORTLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE 2018**

    • In a land ruled by a murderous boy-king, each dawn brings heartache to a new family. Khalid, the eighteen-year-old Caliph of Khorasan, is a monster who takes a new bride each night, only to end her life by morning. When sixteen-year-old Shahrzad's closest friend falls victim to him, she vows vengeance and volunteers to be his next bride. Determined to survive and end Khalid's reign of terror, Shahrzad captivates him with enchanting stories, knowing each dawn could be her last. However, she discovers that Khalid is not the monster she imagined; he is a boy with a tormented heart, and she unexpectedly falls in love with him. This realization feels like an unforgivable betrayal, yet Shahrzad understands that all is not as it seems within the palace walls. She is resolved to uncover the secrets hidden there and, despite her feelings, prepare to take Khalid's life as retribution for the lives he's taken. Can their love endure in a world filled with stories and secrets? Inspired by A Thousand and One Nights, this tale is a sumptuous and enthralling read from beginning to end, showcasing a mesmerizing narrative that captivates the reader.
