Gorgeously gripping . . . in keeping with the best fantasy fiction, this novel is about a great deal more than creeping monsters and steampunk sensibilities
An astonishing imaginative feat

The Honours is a dark, glittering and dangerously unputdownable novel which invites you to enter a thrilling and fantastical world unlike any other.
Astutely brilliant. It is rare to find such a riveting, fantastical, adventure matched by such poetic flair. A rich, gripping delight
Matt Haig
Fabulously evocative, dark and fun: Buchan meets Edgar Wallace, H.P. Lovecraft and Enid Blyton
Helen Macdonald
A mysterious, haunting story that builds to a thrilling climax. Part Mervyn Peake, part Aleister Crowley, it features a truly original heroine in the form of Delphine, the shotgun toting schoolgirl. Tim Clare writes with a poet's eye and a thriller writer's pace that held me spellbound till the last page
Chris Riddell
A tour de force of breathless thrills . . . one which dares you to read it in one long sitting
