The Long Night Looms

Kalie Cassidy

Six weeks. No sun. One rule: keep the lights burning. Every winter, darkness swallows Brina Lund's northern town - and with it comes Langnott, the season in which children used to vanish from their beds and return... changed. Missing pieces. Missing memories. Sometimes worse. But ever since Brina became the town's Preserver, the abductions have stopped. Silver bells on every door. Spruce on every window. Fire, wards, vigilance. Twelve years without a single loss. Until he arrives. Dr. Magnus Larson is charming, sceptical, and unconvinced the night hides anything worth fearing. Sent by the government to unearth Langnott's secrets, he tears holes in Brina's protections, and her carefully guarded solitude. Forced to guide Dr Larson into the endless night, when duty and desire collide, one thing becomes clear to Brina: some monsters wear very human faces... **** PRAISE FOR KALIE CASSIDY 'Lingers long after the last page' REBECCA ROSS, Sunday Times bestselling author of DIVINE RIVALS 'An absolute riptide of a book.
