A sheer delight from beginning to end – Samantha Shannon, author of The Bone Season.

Fairyland s future lies in doubt . . .
The enchanted island of Janda Baik, in the Malay Archipelago, has long been home to witches. And Muna and her sister Sakti wake on its shores under a curse, which has quite stolen away their memories. Their only hope of salvation lies in distant Britain, where the Sorceress Royal runs a controversial academy for female magicians. But the pair travel via the formidable Fairy Queen s realm, where Sakti simply disappears.

To save her sister, Muna must learn to navigate Regency London s high society and trick the English into believing she s a magical prodigy. But when the Sorceress Royal s friends become accidentally embroiled in a plot – involving the Fairy Queen s contentious succession – Muna is drawn right in. She must also find Sakti, break their curse and somehow stay out of trouble. But if fairyland s true queen does finally return, trouble may find her first . . .
