Her mother sent her away. She was too different. Too much. Too difficult.
She is picked up by Fern and taken to the fairy realm.
Rosemary ends up at Fern’s School for Wayward Fae.
Half human and half fae, Rosemary has the power to see how people are going to die. It seems that all the students own a magical gift.
Partnered with Trym, a banshee who is deaf, can lip
read and speak, and whose scream can kill, Rosemary begins a new life, a
different one where she can be herself; be wanted and loved.
But something is not right at Fern’s school.
When Rosemary's friend Essie, a djinn, disappears, she
sets out to find him.
But she has no knowledge of other realms or how to access them.
Lots of magical and extraordinary adventures partner
the new experiences that fill Rosemary’s life.
She finds a new home and new people to call family, and is challenged by many exciting happenings.
Lots of sub-stories add flavour to this brilliant novel
as it swerves in and out of the character’s lives revealing the changes that
take place in each person; their strengths and weaknesses, and secrets held close.
It’s a fabulous two-book series full of change,
excitement and mystery. Intelligent prose, clever dialogue and interesting
characters keep the pages turning.
This is one for the lovers of Miss Peregrines Home for Peculiar Children.
The second book titled The Grim Adventure, is coming soon.
