'The enthralling sequel to the multi-award-winning fantasy epic The Wintrish Girl - perfect for fans of Nevermoor and Discworld

'After rescuing Princess Seraphine from the evil Malevolents, Penn thought her fate had finally changed. But Seraphine is ignoring her again and now Penn has to undergo a terrifying interrogation. The ruthless Inquisitor has been summoned to uncover the truth behind the return of Malevolence to Arylia and fingers are pointing at Penn.

'Her only hope is to find The Lost History, a book that might be the key to unlocking both the Inquisitor's and her own mysterious past. But Penn and her loyal friends aren't the only ones searching for it. Someone else is hunting The Lost History - to destroy it.

'Even as she races to retrieve the book, Penn knows that if she digs up her past, she might not like what she finds. Because Malevolence has started calling to her and she's finding it strangely hard to resist...

'Another thrilling adventure, this time featuring at least six impossibly daring escapes, important life lessons about truth and spare socks, a sinister game of Twenty Questions and a cursed family tree. And some very dangerous cheese.'  (Publication summary)
