Description
In a London lurking beneath the surface, magic, collusion and conspiracy stalk the streets in this rich new fantasy. Welcome to the Witherward, and to a London that is not quite like our own. Six opposing factions run the city, each with its own particular powers, while peace is maintained only by fragile accords. The magic-wielding sorcerers also face problems within their faction that threaten to tear it apart. As the granddaughter of the High Sorcerer, Cassia Sims should be a powerful magician, but she has never been able to make her magic work properly and is therefore denied entry to the Society of Young Gifted Sorcerers. Desperate to prove herself, she becomes involved in a plot by her brother, Ollivan, to make himself head of the society. Along the way, she discovers a trap he has set for his enemies: a cursed doll that absorbs any magic directed at it. When the doll escapes and rampages through the streets of London, Cassia must learn to work with her magic and her brother to prevent the city’s destruction.
