Oksa Pollock is a thirteen year old girl, moving with her family from Paris to a new life in London. Along with her best friend Gus, she is ready to settle into their new lives.
But bizarre things start happening around Oksa. When she finds she has magical powers, the truth emerges: her family are not from this world, but from Edefia, having fled their magical, hidden homeland years ago, in fear of all their lives. And Oksa is their queen. Between her loving, powerful grandmother, her wicked new physics teacher, her mysterious uncles and Gus, plus a whole host of fantastical Edefian creatures, Oksa will be thrown into a wilder adventure that she could ever have imagined.
And Oksa knows she must triumph over her enemies. The whole of Edefia is counting on her.
Anne Plichota was born in Dijon, France, and after studying Chinese language and culture spent several years living and working in Korea and China.
Cendrine Wolf was born in the Alsace region of France. She studied sports and went on to work with teenagers in deprived neighbourhoods.
Cendrine and Anne have been friends for almost two decades and have always wanted to find a project to work on together (including plans to open an English delicatessen in Eastern France!). They are glad they finally found one.
