The Glass Spire

Every morning at ten past three, Ella Harper gets up to bake bread in a tiny Dalston shop. At twenty-six she is raising her sick teenage sister and paying off a dead man’s debt.

Then she wins the one fellowship that could change everything: a place inside Halcyon, the glittering property empire whose dark glass tower rises over Canary Wharf. It comes with one strange rule.

Never go down to Level B-2. But the debt collector who visits her at dawn already knows things he shouldn’t. A note slipped under her door says STOP READING. And the warehouse fire that killed her father seven years ago looks less and less like an accident. With the company’s guarded young CEO beside her, Ella starts reading the small print, all the way down.

What she finds in the basement of the Glass Spire could free her family, or bring the whole tower down on top of her.
