Plucky young Daisy, now the court's witch, is back for another fact-based adventure alongside Queen Elizabeth. As a young witch, Daisy Sparrow, gets used to her role as Queen Elizabeth I's right-hand witch, providing spells and cures at her beck and call. But things aren't completely merry in the castle. The constant pressure from the Queen's advisors for her to marry and turn over her power to a male sovereign boils over. Enter a prince from rival-country Spain. Only, Daisy feels she has seen him before and something's not quite right about him now. Can a young witch protect her Queen from the various nefarious forces circling around her?

Elizabethan England is a time of superstition and strange goings on.  If you have a problem, it’s common to go to a witch for help. And Queen Elizabeth I is no different...When Daisy -- a precocious young witch -- learns of the death of the Queen's Royal Witch, she flies to London to audition as her replacement. But Daisy is from a poor family, and they don't let just anyone into the Royal Court. The only way into the palace is to take a job as a cleaner. As Daisy cleans the palace, she draws the attention of Elizabeth's doctor (and arch-heretic) John Dee, who places her into the auditions -- much to the chagrin of her more well-to-do competitors. But Dee knows how dangerous the corridors of power have become, with dark forces manipulating events for their own ends. To him, Daisy represents a wild card -- one that may decide the fate of many. With so many wanting her to fail, Daisy will need all her grit and determination to make it through these auditions -- not to mention a sense of daring and adventure...

1945. The war is over. Eleven year-old Ralph lives with his mother, plays in bombed-out buildings, and dreams of the day his father will come home and tell him all about his heroic battles. But when his father actually does return, he's far from what Ralph expected: his father is sullen, withdrawn and refuses to discuss the war at all. As Britain looks to a future fit for heroes, Ralph's father struggles to adjust to civilian life. Susceptible to fits of crying and uncontrollable rages, his behaviour starts to directly impact Ralph and his mother, and the community around them.
