Thomas Trelawney thinks he will never get over the death of his sister Grace. When he is plunged into the parallel world of eighteenth century Yngerlande and tasked with saving their tolerant, diverse world from a brutal takeover, using powers he never knew he possessed, he can start to forget and move on. But who is the secretive, hooded girl who arrives to help him, leaving a trail of stars and mystery in her wake?

Fans of Harry Potter, His Dark Materials and Orphans of the Tide will love this exciting, fast-paced adventure story with its echoes of Narnia and a passage to another, strangely familiar, world.

Review

This storyline had lots of action and a fast-moving plot along with wonderfully crafted characters that draw you in.

I liked that it really encompasses so many different aspects of the Fantasy genre. There was adventure and mystery laced throughout as well, which I enjoyed.

Lovers of Fantasy books NEED to read this. It's action-packed and fast-moving. You won't want to put it down. So much fun!
