The Twilight Prisoner
After traveling to the ghostly underworld beneath New York City, Jack has made it back aboveground, to join the living. But if he's alive why is he still seeing ghosts?
Jack tries hard to fit in at his new school – and tries even harder to win the affections of his Latin classmate and friend, Cora. In an effort to impress her, Jack leads Cora to the entrance of the underworld and makes a terrible mistake. Soon they have crossed the threshold, and there may be no getting back.
Like The Night Tourist, this exciting sequel blends together the modern-day world and mythology – this time cleverly introducing readers to myth of Persephone and Eros.

Katherine Marsh
Katherine Marsh has a gift for finding the heartbeat in history, the hidden corners, overlooked voices, and deeply human moments that echo into the present. Her stories, often set against sweeping backdrops of political unrest and social change, don’t just recount the past, they ask what it means to live through it, especially when you're young and searching for your place in a world that doesn't always make sense.
Before she was crafting award-winning novels, Marsh was steeped in stories of a different kind. As a journalist and editor, she learned how to chase truth through the noise, a skill that now gives her fiction its remarkable sense of urgency and clarity. Whether writing about a Syrian refugee hiding beneath the streets of Brussels in Nowhere Boy or exploring the trials of immigration and identity in The Lost Year, she doesn’t shy away from hard questions. Instead, she meets them head-on with empathy and grace.
