Set in Juniper five years before A Kind of Spark comes a powerful
coming-of-age story from award-winning author Elle McNicoll. As
Keedie and her twin Nina approach their fourteenth birthday, they
seem to only be growing further apart. Keedie instead feels drawn
to, and fiercely protective of, their quiet younger sister Addie -
who on the surface is the opposite of loud and fiery Keedie, but in
fact they have more in common than anyone knows.
Stuck in Loch Ness while Edinburgh falls under the control of a
terrifyingly powerful Siren, Ramya Knox is frustrated. She's
supposed to be learning magic from her Aunt Opal, but that isn't
going as smoothly as she'd hoped. As she pushes to rescue her
Hidden Folk friends in the city, long-buried secrets come to light
and legends come to life. Ramya knows she's different; she knows
she's a witch. But now she must learn the true meaning of her
powers... before all she loves is lost.

After the death of her grandfather, neurodivergent tween Ramya
uncovers a world of mystery and magic—and she’s the only one
who can see it! From the award-winning author of A Kind of
Spark. “Ramya, you have something this city needs. And it’s
something that’s going to change everything.” Ramya Knox always
knew she was different. Her dyspraxia makes her clumsy and prone to
attracting the disapproval of her teachers. Ramya didn't know she
can see magic! But when a dog statue comes to life, Ramya follows
the pup and discovers a world she thought existed only in fairy
tales. Trolls, witches, kelpies, vampires, and more lurk in the
shadows of Edinburgh, hiding from the most dangerous creature of
all: sirens. These beautiful monsters use their persuasive voice to
convince those around them to do their bidding—for better or
worse. As the sirens rise in power, it's up to Ramya to save the
day—or the Hidden and mortal worlds might both be at risk.
