Loki’s Curse

The story that began in The Legend of the Witch Wolves continues: Ruby Gilbert has fled Cornwall for London, where she seeks news of the diamond called the Faerie Star. She must bring the lost jewel to Queen Mab before Midsummer’s Eve or lose her life. Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye and she is alone in a dangerous city, deep in snow. Help comes from unexpected quarters but the enemies set against her are more fearsome than ever. How can Ruby hope to overcome them? From the slums of Gutter Lane to the palaces of the aristocracy, featuring a cast of thieves, highwaymen, nobles and were-wolves, Ruby’s journey takes her to the very edge of the world, where Lord Ruin waits, hungry for souls. Loki’s Curse is a magical fantasy set in London and Sussex in the 18th Century. It has been written to appeal to readers of all ages but is best suited for those aged nine and over. It is the second instalment in the series entitled The Gates of Faerie. The first book is The Legend of the Witch Wolves.
