to poke his nose into her family history – in particular, the
ruinous research of late Uncle Herbert – Obedience enters into a
dangerous game of Death, and Ned might be the only person who can
save her … A mesmerising tale of magic, death and science,
wrapped up in a delicious Gothic mystery Jonathan Strange and Mr
Norrell meets Dangerous Remedy – for young adult readers From
