It's been seventeen years since the internet crashed and left the world broken...Auli lives on the Bellwether, a floating college safe from the conflict of the mainland, where she studies the Oracle - an uncanny girl who channels dangerous ghosts and provides lost information about the world's seas.Her peaceful world is shattered when her beloved mentor, Boudain, is found dead. While most aboard believe it was due to natural causes, Auli uncovers hints that suggest he was not the benign leader he seemed - and that his death might be deliberate.Surrounded by people with their own motives and secrets, Auli doesn't know who to trust. Worse, the Oracle is attracting dangerous, mutating ghosts that threaten everyone aboard. With the Bellwether fracturing from internal and external pressures, she is forced to wrestle with a life-changing decision: save the Oracle or save the Bellwether - and all the lives that depend on it.

'Eerie and original' -SFXWhen the internet collapsed, it took the world with it, leaving its digital ghosts behind - and they are hungry. Former photojournalist Katerina fled the overrun cities to the relative safety of her grandmother's village on the edge of a forest, where she lives a solitary life of herbal medicine and beekeeping.When a wordless boy finds her in the marketplace with nothing but her name in his pocket, her curiosity won't allow her to turn him away. But haunting his arrival are rumours of harvest failure and a rampant digital disease stirring up the ghosts, and the mood in the village starts to sour.Accused of witchcraft, Katerina and Stefan escape into the forest, searching for his missing father and the truth behind the disease. If there is a cure, Katerina alone might find it, but first she must find the courage to trust others - because the ghosts that follow her aren't just digital.
