Fourteen-year-old Agnes has a rare way of seeing the world: she can read people through the letters in their names. Shapes, lines, angles—each one reveals something real, something hidden.

When she stumbles onto evidence of corruption and danger in her coastal town of Hull, her strange talent becomes more than a quiet skill. It becomes the only thing that might keep her alive.

To protect herself, Agnes slips into a new identity—Angel—and steps into a world where trust is risky, secrets run deep, and powerful people will do anything to stay in the shadows. With a small circle of allies who both challenge and steady her, she follows clues that pull her farther into a truth she can’t unsee.

Every choice has weight.

Every secret has a cost.

And every letter might point to the person who will save her… or betray her.

A coming-of-age thriller of suspense, courage, and the power of understanding what’s hidden in plain sight.
