The year is 1952, and when 12-year-old Elizabeth Murgatroyd discovers royal jewels hidden in her Uncle's attic, she suddenly finds herself thrust into a challenging mystery, just like one of her books...

Join Elizabeth as she, along with her older sister, Maddie, move to America, go to school for the first time, have to live in a house with their uncle Henry (who doesn't like children), and all the while have to solve a mystery that they accidentally stumbled upon on their first night in Henry Murgatroyd's house. Not to mention the fact that their parents died in WW2. Or so they thought...

* 2017 WATTY WINNER!* Blurb: Humans are at the top of the food chain and always have been. But what if they weren't? What if another took our place and decided to raise and exploit us as we have every other animal on earth? Welcome to a world after humanity... No one is exactly certain where the sibla came from. Some say they evolved from humans long ago, slowly taking power as their numbers increased. Taller, stronger, and longer-lived, than homo sapiens it isn't too hard to imagine. Now humans must face a reality in which they are no more than animals, domesticated beasts bred for their master's various needs and hungers. Rachel Turner is only eight years old. Born in Demin, one of the last remaining free human settlements on earth, she has never been forced to face the reality of life under a sibla Master, living a carefree existence in her hidden village. Magnus Kendrick is a sibla farmer with a sizable estate on which he raises all manner of livestock, from chickens, to sheep, to...humans. He is also the man destined to purchase Rachel's life. *Warning: This book contains a certain degree of gore and disturbing themes Beautiful cover by @my_fairytale 2016 Fright Fest Gold Winner Cryptic's Choice 2017 WATTY Winner ( Story Smiths category) *All Rights Reserved
