India, 1856. Chompa and her fierce army of magical children are in hiding, running a secret school to spread magic and literacy to those who need it. Their mission is more important than ever, as their enemy, Devaynes, is now the all-powerful Governor of India.
Then Chompa learns that Devaynes is on the hunt for a legendary amulet, one which will allow him to summon an army of djinn. Chompa must get to it before Devaynes does, or all will be lost.
Chompa and her friends must split up and take three perilous journeys in search of the amulet: to Bengal bandit country, territory of an exiled Hindu queen; the Indian jungle, home of a haughty Muslim queen who has formed an uncomfortable alliance with the Company; and the British Museum, prison to countless treasures stolen in the name of Queen Victoria.
But if they find it, will they be able to resist unleashing the djinn themselves?
The epic and breathtaking sequel to City of Stolen Magic, and an unmissable read which reimagines our history in a way you've never seen before.
