Description
English fantasy at its finest, Prospero's Children is the first in this exciting new trilogy. A mysterious house awaits Fern and her brother Will for the summer holidays, revealing secrets that shatter their familiar world. As they delve deeper into the house's mysteries, they gain access to a magical land destroyed thousands of years ago. A talisman hidden within the house has been sought by both good and evil forces for millennia. The Gift is required to unlock its power, and Fern soon finds herself being courted by two men: Ragginbone, an enigmatic wanderer, and Javier Holt, a sinister art-dealer. Both want her to find the talisman, but what lies on the other side of the door remains uncertain. This book steps into the gap between The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and Clive Barker's Weaveworld, promising a captivating read for those who enjoy English fantasy.
