Description

Brought to you by Penguin. A spellbinding, epic and heart-racing magical adventure from an exquisite new storytelling talent. India, 1855. There are two kinds of magic in Chompa's world. The kind her mother favours: writing-magic, which anyone can do if they take the time.

Write a spell in Farsi, and wait. It's calm, controlled, safe, says Ammi. It's slow, frustrating, boring, thinks Chompa. Then there's finger-magic, which only those descended from ancient djinn are born with.

Immediate, powerful - and dangerous, for every act of finger-magic leaves a trace, and comes at a price . . . Growing up in an isolated village, hot-headed Chompa has never understood why her mother forbids her from using her potent finger-magic - until, one day, Chompa defies Ammi, and casts a spell.

Soon after, a group of pale men attack their home and snatch Ammi. In desperate search of her mother, Chompa must travel to another world: to England, and the smoky, bustling streets of East End London, where the powerful Company is transporting magical people like her and Ammi for the most sinister purpose . . . 'A wonderfully vibrant debut . . . A vivid magical adventure' - Jasbinder Bilan'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 ©2023 Nazneen Ahmed Pathak (P)2023 Penguin Audio
