The first book in an exhilarating, entertaining, empowering new fantasy adventure series set to ignite young imaginations.

Step into a London lit up by Elemental spirits: the fiery Dragons, the airy Fumis, the watery Chads and the earthbound Magogs. But humans have been causing chaos, mess, noise and pollution for centuries. What if the Elementals could slow down this new world โ€ฆ or stop it altogether?

The revenge-fuelled Shepherdess brings a sleeping sickness down on the city with the destruction of society in her sights. Marisee and Robert are the Elemental Detectives chasing clues to avoid catastrophe: they must face a dangerous riddling dragon, the ghosts of Hyde Park, the plague monster that rises from the Serpentine, and a whole host of other fantastical creatures in their mission to stop the Shepherdess and prevent London slumbering for all eternity ...

The Elemental Detectives by Patrice Lawrence promises an unforgettable journey through a world where magic and reality collide in the most thrilling ways.
