YOU MAY HAVE ESCAPED... BUT YOU'LL NEVER BE FREE.

When Mina encounters a stranger near her home, she fears the worst - for she knows the figure is not what it seems. Soon, people she has encountered start to disappear.
Mina knows the Watchers' power is growing. She flees for her life, but when she reports her fears she finds her sanity questioned.

A chilling modern twist on the Gothic horror novel, perfect for fans of Kealan Patrick Burke, T. Kingfisher and classic horror.

Reviews / Votes
The novel exudes melancholy and isolation, evoking dread over the ancient and unstoppable Watchers. The descriptions of loss are sharp... In the terrifying fantasy novel Stay in the Light, those who escaped the Watchers live with the consequences of their survival. * Foreword Reviews, starred review * Shine's writing is stellar and once again, this world is brought alive through that wonderful writing, and the amazing characters... A stellar sequel and one that will make many readers very happy. * Steve Stred for Kendall Reviews * Action sequences play out like a supernatural version of John Carpenter's Assault on Precinct 13... a very atmospheric book, which develops the mythology explored in the original novel to something more fully formed * HorrorDNA * A gripping and masterfully written sequel that delves deeper into the world of Celtic lore, delivering a magnificently terrifying reading experience * Ginger Nuts of Horror * Captures desperation and helplessness masterfully, leaking terror and infecting readers with a pervading sense of paranoia that comes with knowing the truth... a must-read * Grimdark Magazine *More details
