Overview

His past is calling... and it's not coming alone. Three years have slipped by since Sooty vanished into the dark. Aled, Emily, and their friends have finally found safety in Mrs Lewis's warm, bustling home, so different from the cold fear they once knew under Miss Cragg. Life feels ordinary again. Predictable. Almost peaceful. But shadows have long memories. On Aled's first week as an apprentice at the local colliery, a simple accident spirals into something far stranger. The Whooshing, the mysterious force that once tore him through time, returns with a blinding, bone-deep roar. Thrust between past and present, Aled is left unsure what's real... until he glimpses something in the swirling light that freezes him to the core. Something watching. Something waiting. As time buckles and old dangers resurface, Aled must gather every scrap of courage and every friend he can rely on, to uncover the truth behind everything, before it crushes everything he loves. Darkly magical, atmospheric, and filled with friendship, courage, and haunting secrets, The Chimney Sweep: Ashes of Yesterday is the gripping second book in the Chimney Sweep series. Perfect for fans of Emma Carroll, Kiran Millwood Hargrave, and dark historical fantasy with a twist.
