Voices from Beyond the Grave

Alina gave up trying to find out who her father was years ago, but when she starts to experience black-outs and disturbing dreams, she begins to wonder what exactly her mother has been keeping from her for seventeen years. She had thought her biggest concern for the year would be passing her school finals, but fate - or rather the Fates - have different ideas.

'I just can't believe it,' whispers Steph in my ear. 'It's just so sad.' She gives a little sniff and I can tell she's started crying. She isn't the only one either. Half the assembly room are crying. One girl had to be carried out for hyperventilating.

It all feels so surreal. The seat where our deputy Headgirl would usually sit, every day before today, is vacant. The absence is unnerving. A testament to the truth of what the Headteacher has just told us all.

Suddenly, Alina finds herself thrust into a world of ancient myth and in the midst of a murder mystery where only she can untangle the truth, but how do you explain to a police officer that you only know who the murderer is because you've started to see visions from beyond the grave? As family secrets untangle, Alina finds herself cocooned in a new life of danger, immortality and forbidden romance.
