About The Island at the Edge of Night
Abandoned at a boarding school on a bleak and remote Scottish island, Faye discovers that she and the other pupils have been sent there for doing something wicked. But what has Faye done?
She might be bold enough to explore the prison-like island, but does she have the courage to face a secret deep within herself?
