From award winning author Lucy Strange, The Island at the Edge of Night is a dark, suspenseful mystery set on an island where science and magic blur and danger and secrets unfold.
Faye Fitzgerald does not remember what she's done to land herself at the Auk Island School. She remembers so little about the night that changed her life. Growing up surrounded by nature with her botonist father in the Forest House, she can't cope with the bleak and treeless island where the school sits in seclusion.
Where she and the other children are treated more like prisoners than pupils.
While her fellow students begin to defy the horrible headmaster within the walls of the school, something is begging for Faye's attention on the outside. "The Knife," the only mountain on the island, is calling for her. And it will draw her into a web of secrets that she could have never thought possible.
In this gripping mystery that weaves in and around the line between science and magic, a murdered prince, a majestic stag, and a key that will open any door lead Faye on a dangerous journey across the desolate landscape to uncover what happened and the truth about her father's scientific discoveries.
The Island at the Edge of Night is a masterfully written, gripping mystery rooted in family and the healing power of nature from the Queen of Gothic.
