'An unexpected gem of a story... A stellar setting, a gut-punch of a twist, and an unforgettable heroine. This has all the hallmarks of classic children's storytelling' - Nizrana Farook
 
'A wonderful writer who paints a thoroughly convincing heroine' - The Daily Telegraph
 
'Phenomenal' - Sophie Anderson
 
'Dazzling from start to finish' - Abi Elphinstone
 
India, 1855. The British rule, and all across the country, Indian magic is being stamped out.
 
More terrifying still, people born with magic are being snatched from their homes. Rumour is that they are being taken across the sea - to England - by the all-powerful, sinister Company.
 
When Chompa's home is attacked and her mother viciously kidnapped, Chompa - born with powerful and dangerous magic that she has always been forbidden from using - must travel to the smoky, bustling streets of East London in search of her. But Chompa will discover far more treachery in London than she had bargained for - and will learn that every act of her rare magic comes with a price...
 
Recommended for readers aged 9-14
