The Lost History

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description
The enthralling sequel to the multi-award-winning fantasy epic The Wintrish Girl - perfect for fans of Nevermoor and Discworld After rescuing Princess Seraphine from the evil Malevolents, servant girl Penn thought her fate had finally changed. But now her powerful Talisman is gone and Seraphine is ignoring her again. Even worse, the ruthless Inquisitor has been summoned to uncover why Malevolence has returned to Arylia and fingers are pointing at Penn. Her only hope is to find the Lost History, which might be the key to unlocking both the Inquisitor's and her own mysterious past. But someone else is hunting for it - only they want to destroy it. Even as she races to retrieve the Lost History, Penn knows that if she digs up her past, she might not like what she finds. Because Malevolence has started calling to her and she's finding it strangely hard to resist ... Another thrilling adventure, this time featuring at least six impossibly daring escapes, important life lessons about truth and spare socks, a sinister game of Twenty Questions and a cursed family tree. And some very dangerous cheese.

About the Author

Melanie La'Brooy is an Australian author who has previously written five novels for adults, which were published in Australia and internationally. Her debut children's novel, The Wintrish Girl, won the Aurealis Award for Best Children's Fiction and the DANZ Children's Book Award, was shortlisted for the Readings Children's Prize, and was a CBCA Notable. The Lost History is the sequel to The Wintrish Girl and the second book in the Talismans of Fate series. Melanie has lived in Africa, Asia, Europe and the Middle East. She has long been a history nerd who loves exploring cobblestoned old towns and ancient ruins. Some of the most goosebump-inducing historical sites she has visited include the Valley of the Kings in Egypt, Robben Island in South Africa and Petra in Jordan. Melanie's surname is pronounced La-Broy. Sticking with the history theme, it rhymes with the ancient city of Troy.
