Book Synopsis

First in a brand-new fantasy series from acclaimed author Anna James, filled with seasonal magic and irresistible adventure.

In Whetherwhy, everyone has magic inside them – grown from the changing seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter. But a rare few are Enchanters: people born with magic in their bones, who can wield all four seasons of magic.

When Juniper discovers she is an Enchanter, she is invited to study at Thistledown Academy. Unwilling to be left behind, her twin brother, Rafferty, follows her to the capital city of Stormgrove and takes up an apprenticeship at a bookbindery.

As Juniper learns to wield enchantment, Rafferty becomes involved with a mysterious secret society that meets after dark. Monsters are creeping out of the shadows and dangers lurk in unexpected places. Amid night markets and magic lessons, the twins realise there is more to enchantment than they ever imagined – and the adventure that follows brings their paths together again in ways they could never have expected …

Our Review Panel says...

As a real fan of Pages and Co by Anna James, I was quite desperate to get my hands on this new book in a fresh series from her. I was not in the least bit disappointed. There is something about her writing that firstly makes you wish that you had thought of it yourself.

Anna James’ writing is delicious in every sense of the word. Her books make you feel hungry and just wish you were there. Whilst at first glance this seems like a predictable tale, it has charm and magic all its own. The quote on the cover by Kieran Larwood (Podkin One-Ear) sums it up for me. “Crackling with enchanting magic.

This book positively fizzes with magic and interesting ideas. The cover by Artem Cheboka is lovely, but the internal illustrations by David Wyatt are just stunning. They bring the story to life and whole pages of detailed drawings make you want to look even more closely at what is going on.

This is one of my favourite books of this year and I cannot wait for the next Chronicle!
