Sophie Foster is back in the Lost Cities—but the Lost Cities have changed.
The threat of war hangs heavy over her glittering world, and the Neverseen are wreaking havoc.
The lines between friend and enemy have blurred, and Sophie is unsure whom to trust. But when she’s warned that the people she loves most will be the next victims, she knows she has to act.
A mysterious symbol could be the key—if only she knew how to translate it. Every new clue seems to lead deeper into her world’s underbelly and the Black Swan aren’t the only ones who have plans. The Neverseen have their own Initiative, and if Sophie doesn’t stop it, they might finally have the ultimate means to control her.
As spring arrives at Winterhouse, Elizabeth settles into the joyful
chaos of her new home. But it isn't long before she and Freddy are
drawn into an ominous new mystery. Guests at the hotel start
behaving oddly, and Elizabeth's powers manifest in thrilling -
sometimes frightening - new ways. As unnatural tremors shake the
foundations of Winterhouse, Elizabeth hears cries for help from
Gracella Winters - an enemy she'd thought dead and buried for good.
The discovery of a rare book containing secrets of an ancient
ritual leads to a tragic realization: Someone at Winterhouse is
trying to help Gracella rise again. Danger, intrigue, and the power
of family combine in this fast-paced trilogy conclusion.

A magical tale for children who like an exciting story with
edge.Life was very ordinary for ten-year-old Robyn Silver. The
often-ignored middle child in a big family, the most excitement she
had was the dash to the dinner table to reach the last slice of
pizza. Until... she begins to see creepy creatures around her town
- creatures that are invisible to everyone else. And when her
school is forced to decamp to mysterious Grimdean House and she
meets its equally mysterious owner, Mr Cryptorum, Robyn finds
herself catapulted headfirst into an extraordinary adventure - with
more excitement than she could possibly have imagined. Be careful
what you wish for... It is high time we had a fantastic new female
middle-grade character to root for - Robyn is more than a match for
Hamish and his Worldstoppers, and Finn of Darkmouth fame Robyn is
brave and bold, completely relatable - and with an aspirational
magical edge A pacy, imaginative, hugely appealing storyline with
some SERIOUSLY scary monsters PRAISE FOR ROBYN SILVER While the
story has a strong female lead, it is a book that will appeal to
both genders. ... it really made me laugh - Madge Eekal Reviews

AN INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • In a dazzling new fantasy world full of whispered secrets and political intrigue, the magic of women is outlawed but four girls with unusual powers have the chance to change it all. Now in paperback.
The Nightbirds are Simta’s best-kept secret: Girls with a unique and powerful magic they can gift with just a kiss. Some would kill to possess them; the church would kill them outright. But protected by the Great Houses, the Nightbirds are well-guarded treasures.
As this Season’s Nightbirds, Matilde, Æsa, and Sayer will spend their nights bestowing their gifts to well-paying clients. Once their season is through, they’re each expected to marry a Great House lord and become mothers to the next generation of Nightbirds before their powers fade away. But as they find themselves at the heart of a political scheme that threatens not only their secrets, but their very lives, their future suddenly becomes uncertain.
When they discover that there are other girls like them and that their magic is far more than they were told, they see the Nightbird system for what it is: a gilded cage. Now they must make a choice—to remain kept birds or take control, remaking the city that dared to clip their wings.
