Since moving to Australia with their father, Angus Jack and his sister, Martha, have moved house constantly.

But who is she really and where did she get all the weird stuff in her shop? Without his knowledge, Reafen draws Angus into her world; into ancient feuds, Wild Magick and bitter rivalries - into the secret dealings of Vikings and goblins and all those who have lived in the Old Realm.
