Synopsis
The first in a rich and evocative magical fantasy series. Perfect for fans of Anna James and Kiran Millwood Hargrave.
When Fray’s hidden magic is revealed, he is forced back to Hexton - the magical town from which his family were banished. With no one to trust and nowhere to turn, Fray must face people who see his very name as a curse, others who believe he might be the solution they've been searching for, and those desperate to get their hands on his mysterious Croxometer - one of the most powerful magical objects to ever exist.
With the very essence of Hexton in danger, can Fray live up to his magical legacy while also finding the place where he belongs?
