Eileen Kernaghan's latest YA historical fantasy, Sophie in Shadow, will be released on March 30, 2014.
It’s 1914. Sixteen year old Sophie Pritchard, orphaned two years earlier by the sinking of the Titanic, begins a new life in the unfamiliar world of British India. For Sophie, still devastated by her parent’s death, India proves a dangerously unsettling environment. Are her terrifying experiences in Kali’s temple and the Park Street cemetery hallucinations, or has she somehow been drawn back through the centuries as a witness to dark places in Calcutta’s past?
Sophie it seems has become an unwilling traveler in a timeless zone where past, present and future co-exist. Kidnapping, enemy spies, and terrorist plots all play their part against the background of a world at war and growing unrest in the Indian subcontinent. Soon Sophie’s powers of precognition will be called upon to help thwart a conspiracy that could incite a bloodbath in Calcutta, and deliver India into enemy hands.
