Description
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.
'A wonderful new voice' Katherine Rundell
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?

Person
Nazneen Ahmed Pathak is a British Bangladeshi writer, historian and visual artist who lives in the port city of Southampton. She spent most of her teen years in commuter belt suburbia writing, reading, and listening to melancholy indie music, going on to study English literature at the University of Warwick and completing a PhD in Bangladeshi literature at the University of Oxford. As a historian she researches the geography and history of migration, a subject which is also at the heart of much of her fiction, poetry and visual arts practice. She was selected as one of 12 mentees from 2000 applicants for the 2016/17 inaugural round of Penguin Random House's Write Now mentorship scheme which aims to support and publish underrepresented writers.
She has held residencies at Southampton Central Libraries, John Hansard Gallery, Southampton Museums and Archives, and the Francis Crick Institute in association with Poet in the City. She has been published in Poem: International English Language Quarterly, Places of Poetry: Mapping the Nation in Verse (OneWorld Publications), The Puffin Book of Big Dreams (Puffin), and A Match Made in Heaven: British Muslim Women Write About Love and Desire (Hope Road Press).
Nazneen's debut children's novel was City of Stolen Magic.
