Books like The oversight by Charlie Fletcher
The Oversight once numbered hundreds of brave souls who protected the fragile line between ordinary life and the hidden world of magic. Now only five remain, struggling to keep the ancient safeguards sharp.
When a vagabond brings a terrified girl into their London headquarters, she presents a chance for renewal—perhaps she holds the key to recruiting more guardians. But her presence may also unleash a dark power, threatening to unravel everything the Oversight have fought to protect.
Set against a backdrop of secret societies, conspiracies, and serial murders, the story weaves investigation and sorcery into a tense narrative about duty, trust, and the cost of safeguarding the unseen.
