Ellie’s own reflection was drawn into it, like a ghost image among the lights and shadows. ‘That’s our island,’ Morag said. ‘It looks mysterious.’ ‘It is. That’s where we’re going tomorrow.’ Ellie is excited to be going with Morag’s family to their beautiful island, but when she finds herself abandoned there, things begin to change.

As they move west, trying to find family or somewhere they can call home, they must work out which of the people they meet on the way can be trusted, and which want to cut their adventure short. Encountering people on both sides of the law, as well as those who seem to exist outside it, Sid and Lo make and lose friends as they fight for their lives and each other.
