'SPECTACULAR!' No. 1 bestselling author Martina Cole

'UNPUTDOWNABLE' Irish Times

The thrilling stand-alone novel set in the same world as the million-copy bestseller THE GIRL WITH ALL THE GIFTS.

Once upon a time, in a land blighted by terror, there was a very clever boy.

The people thought the boy could save them, so they opened their gates and sent him out into the world.

To where the monsters lived.

Reviews

Carey writes with compassion and fire - strange and surprising and humane

As fresh as it is terrifying . . . It left me sighing with envious joy

Haunting, heartbreaking

If you only read one novel this year, make sure it's this one - it's amazing

Complex,heartbreaking, hopeful and intelligently written . . . Enigmatic and utterly gripping

Original, thrilling and powerful

Takes hold of you and doesn't let go

Scary, tense and fast-paced . . . but with a heart-warming tenderness
