Unlock the legends. Unleash the magic. Save your home.
'An exciting, heartrending story with a magical twist' - Jacqueline Wilson
Fablehouse is a children's home like no other. It's a safe haven for Heather and her friends, sheltering them from a society that won't accept the colour of their skin. But soon that is not the only danger that threatens them. When mysterious spirits infiltrate the house, stealing away some of the children, the friends must follow them to the heart of the underworld. There they find a magical court from Arthurian legend, where bewitched creatures are hatching a plan to take over the human world. With Pal, the gallant Black Knight, by their side, Heather and friends must resist the glamour of the Fae and battle the Champion. Can they find the inner strength they'll need to save their home?
