FÁILTE TO THE SOS

Fiadh Whelan should be over the moon. After months spent burning the midnight oil, at twenty-three years of age, everything she’s worked hard to achieve is finally within her grasp. Incredibly, she has her pick of prestigious apprenticeships. But when her beloved cousin goes missing, Fiadh’s world falls apart.

WHERE KNOWLEDGE IS ONLY FOR THE WORTHY

She seems to be the only person who won’t accept the neat explanation that Muriel messed up at work and ran away. Fiadh suspects her cousin’s former colleagues are lying; and, determined to find the truth, she accepts an apprenticeship at the firm responsible for her cousin’s disappearance. Her plan is simple: stay under the radar and investigate everyone. Annoyingly, that plan goes to hell when her rival, Keefe ‘swan man’ O’Kelly, sticks his beak where it’s not wanted and delves into a past she’d rather remain buried.

AND DARK DEEDS ARE AFOOT

In fact, it feels as though everyone around her is hiding secrets, making it hard to know whom to trust. Yet, it’s sink or swim at Heron Early LLP and Fiadh has to compete for a coveted spot in the SoS, a secret society of solicitors she believes may be the key to finding Muriel. But every apprentice eventually learns an unfortunate truth: once a dark deed is signed, sealed and delivered – you’re theirs to control.

See why readers loved The Lost Apprentice:

“A cleverly written Dark Academia novel based around the Irish legal system. This book follows a group of apprentices at an Irish law firm as they navigate a secret society, nights out, loss, and betrayal.” Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“I finished this book in 6 hours of nonstop page turning. Law school, magic, secret society, and villainous plots where no one is in the wrong but everyone must operate through their own interpretation of the grey. With a perfect little treat of fluff and smut. I'm obsessed with this world and want to be a SoS member so goddamn bad. (And maybe go to law school?)” Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This book was a whirlwind, I honestly fell for every red herring that I was presented and loved that I was confused nearly the entire time… The STRESS I felt for our apprentices was no joke. The first 25% really sets you up, and the rest of the book comes at you like a vortex… WILL NOT STOP YAPPING ABOUT THIS ONE!” Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Intelligence, humour, love, family, mystery, fantasy…… This book has it all !! There aren’t enough descriptive words in the world to explain what a breath of fresh air this was to read.” Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“This is a masterfully written magical dark academia novel set in Dublin, Ireland. I would recommend this book to everyone, get ready for a fun group of characters, witty dialogue, and a well thought out mystery.” Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
