Synopsis

A
suspenseful tale of witches, family, and magic from internationally bestselling
author Stefan Bachmann. When a twelve-year-old orphan unexpectedly becomes
the mistress of a seemingly abandoned castle, she is thrust into a mysterious
plot involving murderous spells, false identity, and a magical battle of wills
between the living and the dead. Readers of Kate Milford's Greenglass
House, Victoria Schwab's City of Ghosts, and Diana Wynne
Jones will be riveted.

Twelve-year-old
Zita, an orphan and a housemaid, has resigned herself to a life of drudgery
when a strange letter arrives, naming her the only living heir to the
Brydgeborn fortune. Now the mistress of the castle, Zita soon realizes foul
play led to the death of her family. And as she is guided through lessons in
the art of witchcraft by the somewhat mysterious Mrs. Cantanker, Zita begins to
wonder who is friend and who is foe.

Unforgettable and utterly enchanting, this
stand-alone tale about family, belonging, and friendship will bewitch readers
of Tahereh Mafi’s Whichwood,
Katherine Arden’s Small Spaces, and Diana Wynne Jones’s Howl’s Moving Castle.
Cinders & Sparrows is a magical page-turner by the author of The
Peculiar, the acclaimed international bestseller.
