Cordelia has been crowned the Raven Queen. But with new power comes
new danger. The unmissable sequel to The Raven Heir and conclusion
to the epic middle-grade fantasy series perfect for fans of Abi
Elphinstone and Piers Torday. Once their triplet Cordelia became
the Raven Queen, Giles and Rosalind knew they would have to learn
to behave at court. No more fighting for Rosalind and no more
singing for Giles. What they didn’t foresee was having to foil a
plot against their sister. When Cordelia falls into an enchanted
sleep and cannot be woken, Rosalind and Giles must quest across the
kingdom to seek help from the ancient spirits of the land. But
their family’s greatest enemies lurk at every turn and it will
take all of the triplets’ deepest strengths to fight against
them. A thrilling finale to the magical and mystical series.
Sofia is the other princess. Not the crown princess – that's her
perfect big sister, Katrin. Sofia is the princess who always says the
wrong thing; who hates going to parties; who doesn't like people; who
just wants to sit and read her books. So when Sofia is shipped off on a
stomach-churning dragon flight to make another royal visit, she decides
it's time for this princess to take a little break. In disguise, Sofia
soon finds herself discovering a magical city of learning, new friends
and freedom. In short, everything is going wonderfully … right up until
it goes horribly wrong. And that's before the ice giants show up.
From the author of The Dragon with a Chocolate Heart comes a magical
third adventure about acceptance, family and friendship, perfect for
fans of Cressida Cowell and Cornelia Funke
Aventurine is the fiercest, bravest kind of dragon, and she's ready to prove it to her family by leaving the safety of their mountain cave and capturing the most dangerous prey of all: a human.
But when the human she captures tricks her into drinking enchanted hot chocolate, she finds herself transformed into a puny human girl with tiny blunt teeth, no fire, and not one single claw. She's still the fiercest creature in these mountains though - and now she's found her true passion: chocolate! All she has to do is walk on two feet to the human city, find herself an apprenticeship (whatever that is) in a chocolate house (which sounds delicious), and she'll be conquering new territory in no time . won't she?
Wild and reckless young Aventurine will bring havoc to the human city - but what she doesn't expect is that she'll find real friendship there too, along with betrayal, deception, scrumptious chocolate and a startling new understanding of what it means to be a human (and a dragon).
A pinch of Ella Enchanted, a sprinkling of How to Train your Dragon and a generous helping of Eva Ibbotsen -The Dragon with a Chocolate Heart is entirely delicious.
Cordelia and her triplets Rosalind and Giles have lived safely in
the castle at the centre of the forest all their lives, protected
by the spells their mother has woven. The only time Cordelia feels
truly free is when she turns into a dragonfly or a blackbird and
can fly beyond the great stone walls. But then one day the outside
world comes to them. Two rival dukes and their soldiers have come
for the triplets - because whoever is the eldest is the heir to the
throne. But their mother knows that since the Raven Crown was
broken, no one has been able to rule the kingdom of Corvenne and
live, and she will not give up any of her children to that death
sentence. When she refuses to reveal which child is the eldest, she
is taken prisoner, and Cordelia and her brother and sister find
themselves on the run in a dangerous new world. And as they set out
across Corvenne to rescue their mother, Cordelia begins to see that
there is a deep magic at work, driving her towards a destiny that
could tear her family apart, take away her freedom forever or, just
maybe, heal a kingdom devastated by a war that has raged for
generations.

Now her gift for weaving words has caught the eye of the royal family, who want to use her as a spy when the mysterious and dangerous fairy royal family announces it will visit the city. But Silke has her own dark, secret reasons for not trusting fairies .
Can Silke find out the truth about the fairies while keeping her own secrets hidden?

Angeline's long-delayed wedding to Frederick Carlyle, the impetuous
Kat Stephenson has resigned herself to good behaviour. But Kat's

Frederick's bewitching cousin Jane, who has Charles Stephenson
tripping over his feet. But when a menacing boy with powerful magic
starts hunting Kat, a dastardly villain tries to kill Angeline, and
the Guardians face a magical robbery that could spell the end of
their Order, propriety becomes the least of Kat's concerns. Can Kat
save her sister's life, the Order of the Guardians and England
itself, before it's too late?

keep an eye on you. Just to keep everything proper.' When Kat
Stephenson's family arrive in Bath in search of a suitor for her
sister, it's not long before Kat discovers that the town is fizzing

she must defy the Order of the Guardians and risk losing her
magical powers, forever...
'I was twelve years of age when I chopped off my hair, dressed as a
boy, and set off to save my family from impending ruin. I made it
almost to the end of my front garden . . .' Kat Stephenson has just
discovered that she's inherited her mother's magical talents, and
despite her Stepmama's stern objections, she's determined to learn
how to use them. But with her eldest sister Elissa's intended
fiance, the sinister Sir Neville, showing a dangerous interest in
Kat's magical potential; her other sister, Angeline, wreaking
romantic havoc with her own witchcraft; and a highwayman lurking in
the forest, even Kat's reckless heroism will be tested to the
upmost. If she can learn to control her new powers, will Kat be
able to rescue her family and win her sisters their true love?
