An entire civilization lost

Sixteen years ago, Val Kruger along with thousands of her followers set sail to an isolated island, and somehow everyone forgot about the world that was before. It didn’t matter. Until one day a flock of rooks fly over the island, and hundreds of people pass out. 33 die.

One of them is the only person Morgan cares about. While spending her life trying to please the people around, she’s faced with a dilemma: keep her head down, as always, or search for the truth, even if it means becoming a criminal and getting sent away to the Other Island?

Page-turner

Absolutely gripping novel with complex characters, masterfully crafted mysteries and breadcrumbs, and such a unique, vivid aesthetic the world came alive in front of my eyes. The themes are painfully relevant. It is obvious just how much love, time, and research has gone into this piece of work – cannot wait for the second novel.

I need book two

I put the book down. Took a walk. Stared at the ceiling. I just couldn’t stop thinking about the twist. Everything was foreshadowed from page one. Loved the characters, especially Erwin. Read this in one setting, and can’t wait for book two.
