The Magician's Daughter

It is 1912, and for the last seventy years magic has all but disappeared from the world. Yet magic is all Biddy has ever known.

Orphaned as a baby, Biddy grew up in Hy-Brasil, a legendary island hidden from the world by magic. A place of ancient trees, sea-salt air and mysteries, and Rowan the magician - Biddy's guardian. One night, Rowan fails to come home from his mysterious travels.

Determined to protect her home and her guardian, Biddy's journey will take her away from the safety of her childhood, to the poorhouses of Whitechapel, a secret castle beneath London streets, the ruins of an ancient civilization, and finally to a desperate chance to restore lost magic.

But the closer she comes to answers, the more she comes to question everything she has ever believed about Rowan, her own origins, and the cost of bringing magic back into the world.
