Synopsis

In the second magical volume of the Enchanter’s Child
duology, the bestselling author of the Septimus Heap series, Angie Sage, crafts a
stunning finale filled with humor, drama, and nonstop action, just right for
fantasy-adventure lovers.

In the first book of the Enchanter’s Child duology, Alex
discovered the truth: Not only does she possess magical powers but her father
is Hagos RavenStarr, who was once the king’s Enchanter.

Alex is pursued by the fiendish Twilight Hauntings,
monstrous Enchantments created because a prophecy foretold the king’s death at
the hands of an Enchanter’s Child. The Twilight Hauntings are designed to rid
the land of all Enchanters and their children, but Alex has other ideas. Why
should she be forced to leave the place where she belongs?

So now Alex is on a mission to destroy the Twilight
Hauntings. And to do so she must find the very thing that created them—a
magical talisman called the Tau.

But where is it?

In her search for the Tau, Alex enlists the reluctant help
of her father and a strange assortment of people along the way. As she travels,
Alex hones her magical skills and learns that even family and friends can
surprise her.

Praise for the first book in the Enchanter’s Child
duology, Twilight Hauntings:

"Intricate worldbuilding, richly evocative settings,
nuanced characters, deftly woven plotting, and wry humor. An unmitigated
delight." —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"Fans of fantasy and adventure will snap this up and
eagerly await the sequel." —School Library Journal (starred review)

"Sage deftly crafts an endearing and familiar fantasy
story, expertly characterizing distinct, extreme personalities. Fantasy fans
will highly anticipate the next steps in Alex’s journey in the projected sequel
of the Enchanter’s Child duology." —Bulletin of the Center for
Children's Books
