The spooky, swoony YA debut from BookTok star @Merrowchild!

Someone is stripping Europe's most haunted city of its spirits.

When self-destructive, 16-year-old seer, Charlie Frith, realises

that one of his own ghostly friends has gone missing, he must put

aside his own safety - and reclusive existence - if he is to find

them.

Charlie reluctantly teams up with Sam Harrow - the new seer in

town - and a rag-tag group of ghosts, to save their friends from

a fate literally worse than death.

But there is a dark purpose behind these disappearances - more

sinister than Charlie could ever have imagined. And, as he slowly

comes to terms with his romantic feelings for Sam, the stakes become

even higher as time quickly runs out!

Perfect for fans of Cemetery Boys, Becky Albertalli

and V E Schwab.
