In a world ruled by fear of witches, some secrets are deadly. A thrilling new fantasy adventure set in historical London for fans of V.E. Schwab’s City of Ghosts and Serafina and the Black Cloak.
Emmaline Black has a secret. She can hear the rhythm of heartbeats. Not just her own, but others’ too. It’s a rhythm she’s learned to control, and that can only mean one thing…Emma’s a witch.
In a world where a sentence of witchcraft comes with dire consequences and all children who have reached the age of thirteen are tested to ensure they have no witch blood, Emma must attempt to stamp out her power before her own test comes. But the more she researches, the more she begins to suspect that her radically anti-witch aunt and mother are hiding something — the truth about their sister, her Aunt Lenore, who disappeared under mysterious circumstances years ago.
The day of the test comes, and Emma’s results not only pair her up with strange new friends, but set her on a course to challenge everything she’s ever been taught about magic, and reveal long-buried family secrets. It seems witches may not have been so easy to banish after all. Secret cities, untapped powers, missing family members — Emma is about to discover a whole new world.

A LITTLE LIGHT SCARE: Just like her debut, The Strange and Deadly Portraits of Bryony Gray, E. Latimer has written a scary yet fun story, featuring witches, strange powers and posters with eyes everywhere…
STRONG CAST OF CHARACTERS: Emma, Maddie, Eliza and Edgar must all overcome personal demons and find their strength; young readers will find lots to relate to.
LITERARY INSPIRATION: Also like Bryony Gray, Emmaline is inspired by classic literature, this time Edgar Allan Poe — the heartbeat and the birds are cleverly used in this fantasy adventure.
DEBUT ACCLAIM: Bryony Gray was nominated for the Ontario Library Association’s Red Maple Award, as well as the Manitoba Young Readers Choice Award.
AUTHOR WITH SOCIAL MEDIA FOLLOWING: Latimer has nearly 90k followers on Wattpad, with over 20 million combined reads.

“Intrigue, betrayals, and threats of filicide heighten the drama, but it is the awesome possibilities awakened when one embraces one’s powers that lie at the heart of this story…. Suspenseful and heartening.” —Kirkus Reviews
“This pulse-pounding adventure will engage readers with its sense of wonder grounded by relatable, age-appropriate experiences.” —Publishers Weekly
