Since the world fell sick, sisters Payton and Ani Darke have lived in the hospital of King Jude’s where their father is a methic.
Both girls are set on finding a cure for the fever that has put their mother in an eternal sleep.
Sensible Payton looks to scientific experiment, while impulsive Ani is intrigued by remedies from the past - from the forbidden wilderness beyond the hospital's walls.
Following the discovery of a boy with gold skin being held prisoner in the hospital cellars, fate splits the sisters apart, and a Darke truth begins to emerge.
Praise for THE ASH HOUSE:
'An unexpected – and pleasing – combination of propitious and disquieting.’ KIRKUS REVIEWS
‘Walker’s immersive story slowly reveals its secrets, using tension as a lever to tip the reader deep into the Ash House’s mysteries.’ PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
‘The book has allegorical chill that settles slowly, like damp seeping in . . . leaving readers with a feeling of ambiguous unease that may stir for a long time in the back of their minds like the after-effects of a nightmare.’ THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
