A fairy-tale adventure full of dangerous magical creatures, perfect for fans of Sophie Anderson and Michelle Harrison.
In the village of Greeth-Under-Edge, magical creatures are wreaking havoc. A green-toothed hag lurks in the river, a nest of gnomes are up to no good and a scatter of salamanders threaten to set everything on fire.
Creirwy and Morfran are the children of a powerful enchantress, who’s been sent to banish the creatures from the village by brewing an almost impossible potion. But when their mother breaks the Code of Magic, it’s left to the twins to try to finish her task.
To complete the potion, they’ll need to go on an adventure with dangers at every turn. But as Creirwy and Morfran journey through a moon fairy forest, into a hag’s watery lair and to the top of a giant’s beanstalk, they find that the most powerful magic is not always where you’d expect...
