From Frances Hardinge, the Costa Award-winning author of The Lie Tree comes Deeplight! - The gods of The Myriad were as real as the coastlines and currents, and as merciless as the winds and whirlpools. Now the gods are dead, but their remains are stirring beneath the waves . . . On the streets of the Island of Lady's Crave live 14-year-old street urchins Hark and his best friend Jelt. They are scavengers: diving for relics of the gods, desperate for anything they can sell. One day, an extraordinary discovery changes their lives forever . . . This macabre YA adventure, taking place in an alternative world with a touch of Lovecraftian steampunk, features underwater exploration, monsters of the deep, relic-based technology and questions of loyalty as well as smugglers, military scientists and secret fanatical cults. But first and foremost this is a tale of friendship, loyalty . . . and fear.
