After the unsettling events of The Witches of Hogsback, Zelda Scott is very much grounded.

But when her best friend, Song, reconnects with a childhood friend turned social media star, Song manages to convince Zelda’s mom to let her tag along on a holiday to a secluded island in Sedgefield. Zelda soon finds herself the outsider in a group of glamorous teens with an unsettling dynamic. With no adults around, they indulge in endless partying—until the fun takes a deadly turn.

Cut off from the mainland by a raging wildfire and with their communication sabotaged, Zelda must confront a chilling reality: someone on the island is a killer. As people start to vanish and bodies begin to pile up, Zelda races against time to unmask the murderer. But in a group where everyone harbours dark secrets, can she trust anyone?

Dive into this gripping young adult mystery thriller where every twist leaves you breathless and no one is safe.
