Glory is from a family of witches and lives beyond the law. She is desperate to develop her powers and become a witch herself. Lucas is the son of the Chief Prosecutor for the Inquisition - the witches' mortal enemy - and his privileged life is very different to the forbidden world that he lives alongside. And then on the same day, it hits them both. Glory and Lucas develop the Fae - the mark of the witch. In one fell stroke, their lives are inextricably bound together, whether they like it or not . . .

Praise for The Game of Triumphs and The Masters of Misrule: `Powell has really outdone herself . . . The Master of Misrule is imaginative, intriguing and one of the best reads available today . . . If you are looking to get lost in a book, make sure it's this one' * Hack Writers *

 

`I suspected from the first book in the series we could soon have a new star of teen fantasy on our hands . . . A great way to close the story, with strong fantasy helped by brilliant characters, pace and plotting' * Bookbag *

 

`Powell has managed to create a totally unique, original idea that stands out from the rest of the fantasy genre, combining elements of tarot with a dash of the extraordinary . . . A fantastic second instalment, not to be missed' * Chicklish *
