What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

Glorious, powerful, magic; a city of twists, turns and tricksters; extraordinary secrets which only one girl can uncover . . . welcome to the world of Arkspire.

Arkspire is a city obsessed by magic. The five Arcanists - a group of all-powerful magicians have protected the great city for as long as anyone can remember. Within the hustle and bustle of these cobbled streets lives Juniper Bell, a thief who'd do anything for her family even her unbelievably annoying twin sister.

Then one night, something incredible happens. A mysterious stolen relic (nothing to do with Juni, ahem...) explodes, revealing a mysterious creature, Igna who appears to 'bond' with Juni. The only creatures like that are allegedly dangerous enemies of the Arcanists . . . and its not long before they turn their attention to Juni.

Soon Juni, Igna and everyone she loves are pulled into an extraordinary world of magic, power and prestige but also grave danger. It seems the world Juni thought she knew is nothing but a lie and now only Juniper and Igna can bring it down.

A hilarious and astonishingly illustrated new fantasy series, from the bestselling author of Frostheart. Praise for the Frostheart series:

'Wild, funny, lavishly illustrated and filled with excitement' - The Guardian

'A rip-roaring action adventure, full of humour, heart and unforgettable characters' - The Bookseller

'Littler is an expert at pushing reluctant readers from one chapter to the next' - The Times

Critics Review

Arkspire is a triumph - Mortal Engines meets Lockwood & Co. An endlessly imaginative world, explored through perfectly drawn heroines I adored. The magic is mesmerising, the humour masterful and the adventure magnificent. Jamie, you absolute genius!
A. F. Steadman, bestselling author of Skandar and the Unicorn Thief
