They say the moors are haunted. By echoes, by memories, by the weight of what's been left behind. But this isn't a ghost story-at least, not the kind you expect.
On a mist-shrouded expedition, four teenagers are thrown together with only maps, compasses, and their own unsteady courage to guide them. Each of them carries a burden heavier than their packs: guilt, rivalry, secrets, and the desperate need to prove something-to themselves, to others, to the past.
As the weather closes in and the landscape becomes as treacherous as their own thoughts, they begin to discover that the real wilderness isn't the moors at all. It's the terrain of grief, fear, and fragile hope.
The Ghost of Stanage Edge is a story of survival, friendship, and the unseen battles we carry inside. It will unsettle you, move you, and-like the mist over the cliffs-linger long after you've turned the final page.
