A black bird perched on a dark gray bowler hat inside a room, looking out a window at a foggy street scene with a horse-drawn carriage. The window has the title 'Disappearing Ones: the Blackbird's Song' and the author's name, Kerry Burton-Galley.

Disappearing Ones

Coming 2026

London, 1849. When child prostitute, Florence, collapses in the street with a screaming infant in her arms, Thomas Harrington, a reclusive MP with a failing body and an uneasy conscience, realises the girl he once tried to save has come back in ruin.

As Thomas tends to Florence and the child she cannot love, both must face the weight of their choices. Told in piercing, melancholic diary entries, The Blackbird’s Song is a gothic tale of shame and compassion, power and vulnerability, set against the gaslit shadows of Victorian London.
