A modern-day myth, a no-nonsense heroine, and tea leaves that never lie.
Claire knows where to find the people reported as ‘missing under suspicious circumstances’. Unfortunately, telling the authorities means Claire risks taking the blame for the disappearances. Infuriating.
Instead, if Claire wants to see justice in the world, her future-telling tea speaks (metaphorically) crystal clear: Claire must rescue the people from the mysterious, other-worldly cave at the end of the street herself.
Of course, she never factored an other-worldly job offer into the equation…
A modern-day twist on Hades and Persephone, in a world where belief controls the outcome of… everything. For readers who love a no-nonsense protagonist doing what needs to be done.

- When You Can Do Anything, What Do You Do?In a way, it’s freelancer’s privilege; in another, it’s an awful liminality between health and frailty, with the spectre of mortality looming large over all. Partly, also, it’s sleep deprivation at this point, as I’ve barely slept since Boxing Day due to what I shall euphemistically call ‘medication side effects’. Regardless of what’s causing it,… Read more: When You Can Do Anything, What Do You Do?
