When captain Bianca Griffiths decides to do the airline a favour and replace a sick fellow pilot on a flight from Rome to Copenhagen, her biggest worry is that the second pilot is her ex-husband, Michael. Mid-flight the plane suddenly becomes invisible and most of the passengers disappear. Captain Griffiths must find a way to land a plane she can’t see with no help from ground control. But flying and landing blind is just the start of Bianca’s problems when it becomes clear the pilots and the handful of passengers in the cabin have a job to do – a job of a horrible nature.
Irina Slav was raised on folk tales, classical myths and home cooked meals. She wrote her first supernatural story as a class assignment when she was 17 and got the critical acclaim of her Communication Studies teacher. Her first attempt at a novel left her horrified by the magnitude of such an undertaking but she was stubborn and a certain number of years later her first successful attempt at the long form, The Lamiastriga, made its way into existence. Between novel drafts, Irina also writes short speculative fiction and horror. Her stories have been included in several anthologies. Irina lives in Sofia with her husband and daughter.
