Genies grant wishes! That’s all anyone ever cares about. They forget that genies were imprisoned in those lamps for a reason…

Praise for Book 1: "A witty, fast-paced adventure from the children’s laureate." Guardian

From the former UK Children's Laureate, winner of the Yoto Carnegie Medal for Writing and author of the Fairytales Gone Bad series, comes the second instalment in an action-packed fantasy adventure trilogy.

Ravenna, the king of evil genies, has taken over Taya's body and has gone underground finding powerful genie allies ... it's over to Relic and the Hermitic Sodality of Genie Hunters to try and stem the flood of chaos! But one genie proves a bigger threat than all the others combined: The Archivist was a terrible genie, so terrible that his lamp was kept hidden in Windsor Castle for centuries. Relic and the team must get to it before Ravenna...

Features 20 black-and-white illustrations throughout from Korean artist Hyun Song We, an animator who has worked on Pixar films including Inside Out 2.
