Silverborn: The Mystery of Morrigan Crow

Morrigan Crow is ready for a new adventure. In Silverborn: The Mystery of Morrigan Crow, we will travel to places in Nevermoor that we've never seen, meet people from Morrigan's past who will be very important in untangling the mystery of who she is ... and see Morrigan aligning herself with someone very dangerous to learn more of the Wundrous Arts.

'Enter the world of Nevermoor and its fantastical inhabitants, and be utterly enchanted' Courier-Mail

'It really is brilliant, with an engaging plot, plenty of twists, memorable characters and a marvellous sense of humour. Pick it up and the hours disappear, just like magic.' Daily Telegraph
