Arkspire is a city obsessed by magic. The five Arcanists – a group of all-powerful magicians – have protected the great city for as long as anyone can remember. Within the hustle and bustle of these cobbled streets lives Juniper Bell, a thief who’d do anything for her family – even her unbelievably annoying sister.<\/p>\n
Then one night, something incredible happens. A mysterious stolen relic (nothing to do with Juni, ahem…) explodes, revealing a mysterious creature, Cinder – who appears to ‘bond’ with Juni. The only creatures like that are allegedly dangerous enemies of the Arcanists… and its not long before they turn their attention to Juni.<\/p>\n
Soon Juni, Cinder and everyone she loves are pulled into an extraordinary world of magic, power and prestige – but also grave danger. It seems the world Juni thought she knew is nothing but a lie – and now only Juniper and Cinder can bring it down<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Borzoi School Book Club Review:<\/strong><\/p>\n Arkspire is set in an isolated city governed by five Arcanists, beings gifted with extraordinary powers while the rest of the world decays. Follow the tension between Juniper and Elodie Bell, two sisters set on very different paths. Journey through the different districts and discover what secrets lie within its walls. This is the first of Jamie Littler\u2019s books that I\u2019ve read and I wish I had discovered him when I was ten. The book was full of witty characters and spectacular magic, with twists and turns along the way that are sure to keep you enthralled. And for those who enjoy it, a sequel is already on its way! This is probably best suited for readers aged 8-12 but older readers may still find plenty to entertain them!<\/p>\n Charlie, Burford School<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":76722,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[9486],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-70650","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-childrens-middle-grade","first","onbackorder","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"yoast_head":"\n
