About the book

It is 1915. 17 year old Sasha Fox is the privileged only daughter of a respected doctor living in the wealthy seaside town of Brighton. But her brothers, Edgar and Tom, have gone to war and Sasha has a terrible gift. She can see the future. Her premonitions show her untold horrors on the battlefields of the Somme, and worse still, what will happen to Edgar and Tom. Like the prophetess Cassandra, who foretold the tragedies of Troy, Sasha is trapped by power. No one will believe her. Her family have lost faith in her. She is determined to win them back, whatever the price. And it is a high one - seeing the future is a fate almost too awful to contemplate - for who wants to see the end of their own story...?

Stylishly written in his familiar, poetic prose the story is that of a world full of threat and a child in jeopardy - but with a heroine resourceful enough to try to change the path of Fate.

About the Author

Amongst his subsequent, highly acclaimed Young Adult Novels are The Dark Horse, My Swordhand is Singing, Midwinterblood and Snowflake AZ. In 2009, Sedgwick embarked on The Raven Mysteries, a series for younger readers, the success of which led to another cycle of books for the same age group, called Elf Girl and Raven Boy.
