Cinders and Sparrows

A

suspenseful tale of witches, family, and magic from internationally bestselling

author Stefan Bachmann. When a twelve-year-old orphan unexpectedly becomes

the mistress of a seemingly abandoned castle, she is thrust into a mysterious

plot involving murderous spells, false identity, and a magical battle of wills

between the living and the dead. Readers of Kate Milford's Greenglass

House, Victoria Schwab's City of Ghosts, and Diana Wynne

Jones will be riveted.

Twelve-year-old

Zita, an orphan and a housemaid, has resigned herself to a life of drudgery

when a strange letter arrives, naming her the only living heir to the

Brydgeborn fortune. Now the mistress of the castle, Zita soon realizes foul

play led to the death of her family. And as she is guided through lessons in

the art of witchcraft by the somewhat mysterious Mrs. Cantanker, Zita begins to

wonder who is friend and who is foe.

Unforgettable and utterly enchanting, this

stand-alone tale about family, belonging, and friendship will bewitch readers

of Tahereh Mafi’s Whichwood,

Katherine Arden’s Small Spaces, and Diana Wynne Jones’s Howl’s Moving Castle.
