Description

The first novel in a brand-new adventure series by Carnegie Medal Winner Katya Balen for fans of Greenwild and The Whisperwicks

Every year, siblings Sam, Milo and Coco spend their summers on the Island of St. Alestone. The island is mysterious and bursting with secrets. They know every single one. And they don't want to share them with their new step-sister Kit.

Everything changes when Kit discovers a family heirloom that the others know nothing about. The Saltstone transports her to a magical version of St Aleston, hidden from the rest of the world. Suddenly she's the one with the secret. With the Saltstone in her hand, Kit can do anything.

Then she meets Christopher – a boy who disappeared from St Aleston over a century ago and yet is somehow still alive. Kit learns he's being held prisoner, his heart stolen by the island's mysterious controller, the Magician of Saltstone. After Christopher saves Kit from suffering the same fate, she vows to free him. But a terrible betrayal is afoot that will force Kit to fight to keep her family together in an enthralling tale of belonging, betrayal, and the invisible threads of magic that bind us.
