  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Kay Brellend is a new star in the making!' bestselling author Rosie Clarke 
  In 1889 London, the streets are as deadly as the factory floor… 
  Rebecca Spencer holds her struggling family together, working long hours as a match girl at Bryant and May, where the threat of ‘phossy jaw’ hangs over every shift. 
  But when her brother falls in with dangerous men while mudlarking on the Thames, the Spencers are dragged into a world of ruthless crime. Rebecca already has secrets after her elder sister’s tragic end in a Whitechapel backstreet. Now scandal is looming once more, and echoes of the past bring haunting memories of unsolved murders… and a baby born out of wedlock. 
  Lieutenant Stevie Flynn offers his help, and Rebecca wants to trust him. But when the handsome naval officer seems entangled with the very people she is fighting against, she must ask herself – is he her salvation, or another threat waiting in the shadows? 
  A gripping Victorian saga of courage, betrayal and survival.

  Cheated of his glorious afterlife, Eric faces a terrible doom. If his companions can‘t save him then he’ll be forever barred from Valhalla and rot in icy, hopeless Niflheim. 
  Outlawed and hunted, with prices upon their heads, Eric’s companions must secretly flee from England, but a terrible curse delays them time and again. Allied with a snobbish Druid Seer, who alone can help them rescue Eric, they strike a terrible bargain: to seek “the crack in the world,” a mystical doorway to the forbidden realms of the Norse Gods. 
  Escaping from the sadistic Eorl of Northumbria, the companions face mystical enemies determined to thwart their quest. With the help of Seren, a wise, aging prostitute, they reluctantly cross the once-bountiful lands their merry chase helped ruin … where peaceful villages once thrived. 
  However, when they finally recover Eric’s dragonship, they face an even worse threat: the cold, stormy North Sea, upon which they must sail to an unknown destination, and none of them are experienced sailors.
