From the brilliant author of the Fox Family saga comes a new spin-off novel, following Bertie's journey to become a pilot as she takes to the skies in Cornwall

1930, Cornwall. Bertie Fox has had her dreams of motorcycle racing cut short by a life-changing accident, but now her thrill-seeking ambitions have turned towards the skies. Along with her two friends, Gwenna and Tory, Bertie's joined the flight training school on Pencarrack Moor.

When a fourth girl moves onto the base, it's clear she's hiding something from her fellow pilots, even as they try to earn her trust. But the more they get to know the secretive Irene, the more they suspect she might be just as dangerous as she is mysterious.

Soon, the three young women uncover something more sinister than they could have imagined. As they're drawn into a complex web, dark pasts and uncertain futures threaten them all - and the Pencarrack girls must learn who they can trust, before it's too late...

Set against the dramatic Cornish coastline, this absorbing tale of friends and secrets will delight fans of Rosie Goodwin and Evie Grace.

About the Author

Terri Nixon was born in Plymouth in 1965. At the age of 9 she moved with her family to Cornwall, to the village featured in Daphne du Maurier's Jamaica Inn - North Hill - where she discovered a love of writing that has stayed with her ever since. She also discovered apple-scrumping, and how to jump out of a hayloft without breaking any bones, but no-one's ever offered to pay her for doing those.

Her first commercially published novel was Maid of Oaklands Manor, published by Piatkus in 2013. She has since published the rest of the Oaklands Manor trilogy, the Penhaligon Trilogy and the Fox Bay Saga series.
