'The Oversight is most dangerous when most reduced. There are many dead and gone who did not remember that.'

The Oversight of London has been sworn for millennia to prevent the natural and the supernatural worlds from preying on each other.

Now at its lowest ebb, with its headquarters destroyed and its last members scattered far and wide, this secret society will battle for survival and face the harshest foe it has ever met: itself.

"A dark and glinting book . . . told in a kind of compelling and hypnotic poesie that I just lapped up . . . I'll certainly be reading the next one" - BoingBoing.net

"A highly entertaining fantasy that promises a trilogy worth sinking your teeth into" - SciFiNow on The Oversight

"A remarkable combination of British folklore, brisk pacing and wide-ranging imagination" - Kirkus Reviews on The Oversight
