Rise of Rebel Queens

Brought to you by Puffin.

The epic and breathtaking sequel to City of Stolen Magic, and an unmissable read which reimagines our history in a way you've never seen before.

India, 1856. Chompa and her fierce army of magical children are in hiding, running a secret school to spread magic to those who need it. Their mission is more important than ever, as their enemy, Devaynes, is now the all-powerful Governor of India.

Then Chompa learns that Devaynes is on the hunt for a legendary amulet, one which will allow him to summon an army of djinn. Chompa must get to it before Devaynes does, or all will be lost.

She and her friends must split up and take three perilous journeys: to Bengal bandit country, to the Indian jungle, and to the British Museum in London.

But if they find it, will they be able to resist unleashing the djinn themselves?
