Wundersmith: The Calling of Morrigan Crow
Return to the magical world of Nevermoor in the second book of the New York Times bestselling series, a treat for all fans of magic and Wunder.
Morrigan Crow has escaped her deadly fate and found a new home in the fantastical city of Nevermoor. She has also discovered that she has a strange and magical ability. But will her unique talent be a blessing or another curse?
Now that Morrigan and her best friend Hawthorne are proud scholars in the elite Wundrous Society, she is sure that she's found a place to belong at last, but life is far from perfect. Can Morrigan prove that she deserves to be in the Society - or will an unexpected new enemy ruin her new life?
Morrigan's adventures continue in Hollowpox: The Hunt for Morrigan Crow!
