Angie Sage, New York Times bestselling author of the Septimus Heap
series, crafts a fantasy world where enchantment is illegal, Oracles
knit octopuses, wizards run around in soggy underpants, and one girl
is on a mission to save Enchantment and Enchanters, which might just
save the kingdom. Alex has a set of Enchanted cards. When she flutters
her fingers above them, something magical happens: the cards come
alive and create moving pictures of what is now and what is yet to
come. But Enchantment is illegal in the city of Luma, and those who
practice it are imprisoned forever in the Vaults—dark dungeons deep
below the city. When Alex is betrayed by her foster sister Zerra, she
knows she is in great danger. With the help of her little foster
brother, Louie, she makes a daring escape. But Alex discovers she is
not safe outside Luma either. Here lurk deadly Hauntings that seek out
those who practice magic: Enchanters and their children. The Hauntings
take many forms and Alex is hunted by a giant bird of prey, the Hawke,
a murderous Night Wraith called the Grey Walker, and the eerie Xin.
But why do the Hauntings haunt Alex? Alex doesn’t believe she’s an
Enchanter’s Child, but she has no idea who her parents are. Her
precious Enchanted cards are her only clue to her true identity, and
she becomes determined to find out who she is. And, while she is at
it, to get rid of the deadly Twilight Hauntings forever. Praise for
Angie Sage's Twilight Hauntings: "Intricate worldbuilding, richly
evocative settings, nuanced characters, deftly woven plotting, and wry
humor. An unmitigated delight." —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Fans of fantasy and adventure will snap this up and eagerly await the
sequel." —School Library Journal (starred review) "Sage deftly
crafts an endearing and familiar fantasy story, expertly
characterizing distinct, extreme personalities. Fantasy fans will
highly anticipate the next steps in Alex’s journey in the projected
sequel of the Enchanter’s Child duology." —Bulletin of the Center
for Children's Books
