THE MAGICAL CONCLUSION TO STELLA MONTGOMERY'S AWARD-WINNING STORY

'The perfect conclusion to a wonderfully quirky Victorian fantasy series' -- Pages & Pages

Stella Montgomery is in disgrace. The Aunts have sent her to Wakestone Hall, a grim boarding school where the disobedient are tamed and the wilful are made meek. But when a friend disappears, Stella is determined to find her - no matter the danger…

Soon Stella is thrown deeper into the mysteries of Wakestone… and her own past. Will Stella save her friend in time? And will she discover - at long last where she truly belongs?
