The only thing worse than leaving your old life behind is when you realise it’s coming to get you anyway…

Last year, Amber moved schools and made a new group of friends, all bound together by the secret of what really happened out on the moors the middle of a dark winter’s night. This year, as they move into Year 11, exams should be the only thing they have to worry about – right?

Unfortunately for Amber, someone has other ideas. With her parents distracted by their own troubles, Amber makes one crucial mistake and cracks open the door of her new life, letting the demons from her past flood through.

With the lives of those she loves in danger, will Amber realise in time that she can’t win on her own? And even with help from her friends, Meggie, Grace and Sophia, can they really outwit a criminal gang leader and foil his murderous plot?

Ring of Steel is the next thrilling adventure in The Ring Mystery Series, following Amber, Meggie, Grace and Sophia as friendship, loyalty and courage are tested by secrets that refuse to stay buried.

A British high school mystery perfect for fans of Holly Jackson and Karen M. McManus
