Imogen Whitfield is not entirely surprised to discover her estranged grandfather is a wizard - and that his gift, and his enemies, are coming for her. She has always been able to draw characters who step off the page and speak to her. She has, in short, always known the world was stranger than it appeared. What she doesn't know is that her grandfather's time is running out - and that the gift he carries is destined to go to her. Set in vivid, sunny, contemporary Perth, IMMIE meets Archibald Whitfield for the first time, learns the true nature of what she has inherited, and builds a circle of extraordinary allies - including Doran, the leprechaun who is ancient and tricky and nothing like the stories, and Priya, whose gift for precision and loyalty is its own kind of magic. A novel about inherited gifts and inherited silences. About the cost of protection that becomes absence. About a family that has been broken for thirty years and is trying, carefully and honestly, to repair itself. And about a fifteen-year-old girl from Perth who refuses to look away from people - and discovers that this, more than anything, is where the magic lives.

Patrick Maher spins curious tales of imagination and mystery, set in other times and other worlds for readers of all ages, where psychic abilities, science, and medicine can easily leap about in the playground of the mind together. His stories are set in worlds that seem normal but one step removed, where deep, enduring friendships are valued.
