Twelve-year-old Fable is a girl with a secret that could set her world on fire: she has magic. In the quiet town of Mistwood, being different is a death sentence, so Fable keeps her powers buried deep—until she discovers The Book of Chaos. This ancient, sentient artifact doesn't just hold spells; it holds the key to a darkness threatening to unravel the very fabric of Starfell.
When a shadow-weaving villain begins hunting for the book, Fable is forced out of hiding. Alongside her quirky companions, she must navigate enchanted forests and treacherous secrets to uncover the truth about her lineage. But magic is a double-edged sword, and the Book of Chaos is hungry for more than just ink.
Jessica Renwick weaves a spellbinding tale of courage and self-discovery. Perfect for fans of The Land of Stories and Nevermoor, this whimsical yet high-stakes adventure proves that the greatest power isn't found in ancient relics—it’s found in the heart of a girl brave enough to use her voice.
