The Rook

 "The body you are wearing used to be mine."
So begins the
letter Myfanwy Thomas is holding when she awakes in a London park
surrounded by bodies all wearing latex gloves. With no recollection of
who she is, Myfanwy must follow the instructions her former self left
behind to discover her identity and track down the agents who want to
destroy her. She soon learns that she is a Rook, a high-ranking member
of a secret organization called the Chequy that battles the many
supernatural forces at work in Britain.
She also discovers that
she possesses a rare, potentially deadly supernatural ability of her
own. In her quest to uncover which member of the Chequy betrayed her and
why, Myfanwy encounters a person with four bodies, an aristocratic
woman who can enter her dreams, a secret training facility where
children are transformed into deadly fighters, and a conspiracy more
vast than she ever could have imagined.
Filled with characters
both fascinating and fantastical, THE ROOK is a richly inventive,
suspenseful, and often wry thriller that marks an ambitious debut from a
promising young writer.
