The first book in a horrifying new fantasy sequence from Joseph Delaney, the internationally multi-million-selling author of The Spook's Apprentice.They heard shouting, and cries of fear. Without warning, the dark wall of the Shole had advanced.Crafty can't remember a time before the Shole - the terrifying mist that has engulfed most of Britain, leaving those trapped in it to either die or be transformed into terrifying monsters: the aberrations. Crafty looked down the slope and realised what had happened to cause so much panic.
He is ordered to report to the Castle, where he will train as a gate grub - operators of magical portals that allow the mysterious guild of Gatemancers to explore within the Shole. Crafty has been stuck in his family's cellar for nearly a year, his only companions his restless, whispering dead brothers, and an unusually friendly aberration he names the Bog Queen.But then Crafty's life abruptly changes. It is a dangerous job, with a very short life expectancy...To survive, Crafty will have to use every inch of his cunning - whatever the cost.
