A stunningly imagined, action-packed fantasy adventure for fans of
Nevermoor, Neverwhere and Mortal Engines, from bestselling and
award-winning author Patrice Lawrence. "A beautifully written book,
bristling with magic, set in an ancient London filled with dragons,
ghosts, water spirits, and a mysterious, creeping sleeping-sickness
that must be fought by the brave young heroes. I loved it."
Cressida Cowell, Children's Laureate & author of How to Train
Your Dragon Step into a London lit up by the Elemental spirits: the
fiery Dragons, the airy Fumis, the watery Chads and the earthbound
Magogs. But humans have been causing chaos for centuries, trampling
through the landscape trailing noise, mess and pollution. What if
the Elements could slow down this new world... or stop it all
together? The revenge-fuelled Shepherdess, who moves between the
everyday and the supernatural London worlds, is the perfect weapon.
She brings a sleeping sickness down on the city with the
destruction of society in her sights. Marisee and Robert are the
Elemental Detectives chasing the clues to avoid catastrophe: they
must face the ghosts of Hyde Park, the monstrous coiled snake of
the Serpentine, and a whole host of other fantastical creatures in
their mission to stop the Shepherdess and prevent London slumbering
for all eternity... Big, bold, future classic storytelling for a
new generation. A London where magic sparks just beneath the
surface - this book is set to ignite young imaginations. The
page-turning, empowering, heart-racing first book in a major new
series. MORE PRIASE FOR ELEMENTAL DETECTIVES "I loved reading about
