SECRETS OF GHOSTS is a haunting fantasy for young adults.
"Something is trying to disappear me and I do not like it. It feels like I am being slowly undone."
In 1917, at the age of 14, OSCAR ghosted at the frontlines of Passchendaele Ridge where he fled to escape the loss of his entire family. Now, trapped in limbo, he is hiding in an abandoned church with his gathering of ghosted orphans trying desperately to find a way to save their souls. He is more powerful than they know but his determination is more damaging than he realizes. Through Static Recordings they call for help but slowly they are forgetting everything.
Sixteen-year-old DAFFODIL uses crystal to change her spirit and has escaped the Institution where she was sent after both her parents died. The abuse may have been difficult but it just may have prepared her for her first mission with The Secret Society Of Gifted Teens – a task that MADAME GLISZNORT has carefully orchestrated to save her Lost Children. Even death cannot release her from her obsession; after all, she has more than a vested interest in the outcome. And now she has located the most gifted teenagers, and trapped them in this lost place where she must manipulate their fears so that they can access their gifts and do what she has been unable to. Their survival is unlikely – for that would mean they would have to destroy the Shadow – a teeming whirlpool of hatred borne from a place of such human darkness that it turned Blackwater into a ghost-town so many decades ago.
Now, stranded in the icy wasteland of no-time and encircled by a dense mist, with six other gifted strangers, Daffodil must figure out a way to free these ghosts’ souls and to do that she will have to get her companions to expose the secrets that have tragically haunted their own lives. It is the only way they will source their gifts. It is the only way they will survive.
But first they have to destroy the Shadow. It feeds off misery and shame – and there is plenty of that here. When JAKE finds the old radiola VIII in the church attic and realizes he can hear the ghost’s recordings in the static, the group is thrown into a battle for survival – for the lost souls, for themselves, and for the future. And time is running out.
