Fiercely feminist and perfect for fans of DAISY JONES & THE SIX meets EUPHORIA (HBO), DARKENING SONG follows the story of two young women; a teen star from Manchester failed by the music industry which made her an idol and her ambitious manager, forced to make an impossible choice between friendship and power. To be adapted into a MAJOR TV SERIES.

Reader Reviews

"Beautiful, gripping and heartbreaking in places. I loved this novel." John Niven, author of K*ll Your Friends & O Brother

"A bewitching, beautiful story of fame, power, and human vulnerability in the modern age. Rarely does a debut novel shatter your heart like this." Dave Bayley, Glass Animals.

"Darkening Song is a taut and haunting look at modern stardom. Ferociously written and moving." Isabel Banta, author of Honey

"Dark, beautiful, and razor-sharp.” Bexy Cameron, author of Cult Following

"Beautifully illustrates the universal intricacies of love, loss, ambition and the pursuit of dreams." Honor Teideman, Reprezent Radio DJ

"Absolutely stunning. I tore through this one in only a few sittings, what a beautiful story. Reminiscent of a David Lynch film in the best possible way." 5 Star Reader Review

"Darkening Song is a mesmerising, unsettling and surprisingly hopeful exploration of what it means to be seen - and what it costs." 5 Star Reader Review

"Darkening Song is a haunting, beautifully written novel that lingers long after the last page. If you're drawn to moody introspective fiction with gorgeous writing and emotional depth, Darkening Song is well worth your time." 5 Star Reader Review
