From award-winning bestseller Laura Purcell comes her YA debut, MOONSTONE.
'Brilliant and beautiful, Moonstone is the gothic werewolf love story we've all been waiting for. Easily one of my favourite books of the year!' JJA Harwood, author of The Thorns Remain
Don't misbehave. Beware the moon. And never go out after dark …
Following a scandal at the Vauxhall pleasure gardens, Camille is sent to the woods to live with her reclusive godmother and her strange daughter, Lucy. Cast out from polite society, she must learn to live by her godmother's strict rules.
Camille has never met anyone quite like Lucy before, and as they grow closer and cross forbidden boundaries, strange things begin to happen. Mysterious deaths, claw marks raking the doors, and the nights are pierced by the howls of a creature that sounds almost … otherworldly.
Should Camille be more afraid of what's hiding in the woods - or her own heart?
From the award-winning, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Silent Companions, Moonstone is a haunting gothic romance with real bite.
