A magical adventure set in Regency London, Fairyland and an enchanted island: war looms in the lands of fairy as two sisters are separated, plots thicken and there are rumours of a new contender for fairy´s throne.
A sparkling magical adventure set in Regency London, Fairyland and an enchanted island. Sisters are separated, plots thicken and there´s a new contender for fairy´s throne.
Fairyland´s future lies in doubt . . .
The enchanted island of Janda Baik, in the Malay Archipelago, has long been home to witches. And Muna and her sister Sakti wake on its shores under a curse, which has quite stolen away their memories. Their only hope of salvation lies in distant Britain, where the Sorceress Royal runs a controversial academy for female magicians. But the pair travel via the formidable Fairy Queen´s realm, where Sakti simply disappears.
To save her sister, Muna must learn to navigate Regency London´s high society and trick the English into believing she´s a magical prodigy. But when the Sorceress Royal´s friends become accidentally embroiled in a plot - involving the Fairy Queen´s contentious succession - Muna is drawn right in. She must also find Sakti, break their curse and somehow stay out of trouble. But if fairyland´s true queen does finally return, trouble may find her first . . .
