The Frozen Sea – cover reveal!

Posted on March 20, 2019 by - Books

I am delighted to reveal the cover and title of the next instalment in The Lost Magician series…

THE FROZEN SEA!

It is 1984 and forty years since Simon, Patricia and Evelyn and Larry first stepped through a magical library door into the enchanted world of Folio. When Patricia’s daughter, Jewel, makes a mysterious discovery in an old bookshop, she begins a quest that will make her question everything she thought she knew. Summoned to Folio, she is sent on a perilous rescue mission, helped only by her pet hamster and a malfunctioning robot.

Their mission to the Frozen Sea will bring them face-to-face with a danger both more deadly and more magnificent than they ever imagined.

What Jewel discovers will change not just who she thinks she is, but who we all think we are…

The book is due to be published on the 5th September 2019 and you can pre-order from Waterstones here
