Adeline Black cannot have magic. Magic is frivolous and dangerous...and outlawed. And yet, when she finds her feet unexpectedly leaving the pantry floor, there's no denying that something magical is happening. Banished by her grandmother to live with her family in Clamory, where magic is everything, Adeline must learn to control and hide her power in order to go home. At least, that's the plan, before the Council realises she has rare magic. Rare magic that could help heal the crystal caves of Clamory, the source of the power. Helped by her cousins, new friends and a catafly called Liquorice, Adeline must find her purpose in a dying magical world. But how can she do that when she doesn't know who to trust?
