On the brink of discovering who - or what - lies behind

her mother's death, Rosie Frost begins a new adventure with a

murder to solve, revenge on her mind, and more questions than she

has answers.

It's a new term at Heverbridge School and Bloodstone Island is

in turmoil: mutant animals are on the loose, jealous

classmates want to bring Rosie down, and,

even worse, there's a black hole to deal with. Below

the island's surface, an everlasting star is growing in strength

and it just may end them all.

Rosie discovers the northside of the island, home to the alluring

Imperium Palace. But is the palace one of scientific genius or

deadly menace?

While she fights to know the truth about her past - and her family's

ancient ties to Bloodstone - Rosie begins to wonder if the

price for the truth may be too high. She must discover

what she's really made of as a fresh danger puts her new home - and

all that she loves - at risk.

What are readers saying about the international bestseller

Rosie Frost & the Falcon Queen?

'A captivating mystery and adventure . . . [that] features

quick pacing, fun and engaging worldbuilding, and a lead character

who is easy to root for. Exuberant, action-packed, and warmhearted.'

'Readers will be bursting to visit Bloodstone Island, with

its rare creatures and old secrets. If an English boarding school

on an island full of wild, rare animals isn't enough to grab readers,

Rosie Frost, an empowering new heroine, certainly will.'

School Library Journal

'An effervescent fantasy series . . . smart twists rooted

in real-life history add excitement, and Anne Boleyn's indomitable

spirit literally and figuratively haunts this lively debut, inspiring

Rosie and propelling the tale's feminist, eco-preservationist

message.' Publishers Weekly
