The Graveyard Book meets Nevermoor in this ghostly tale about two friends, one murder mystery, and a world of intrigue. Find the courage to be extraordinary… Ema Vasková has always felt different. In a family of famous scientists, there’s not much room for superstition or omens–but they seem to follow Ema wherever she goes.

But then she meets Silvie–a girl who finally sees Ema for the extraordinary girl that she is. Soon the girls are meeting for secret midnight adventures and facing Ema’s fears together. But then disaster strikes. Silvie goes missing–and it’s up to Ema to find her. Now she must gather the courage to hunt the city, find her friend, and uncover the secrets of the one clue Silvie left as to where she might be–inside the mysterious Midnight Guild…
