A stunningly imagined, action-packed fantasy adventure
for fans of Nevermoor, Neverwhere and the
Lizzie and Belle Mysteries, from bestselling and award-winning
author Patrice Lawrence.
"A beautifully written book, bristling with magic, set
in an ancient London filled with dragons, ghosts, water spirits,
and a mysterious, creeping sleeping-sickness that must be fought
by the brave young heroes. I loved it." Cressida Cowell,
Children's Laureate & author of How to Train Your
Dragon.


Step into a London lit up by the Elemental spirits:
the fiery Dragons, the airy Fumis, the watery Chads and the
earthbound Magogs.



Step into a London lit up by the Elemental spirits: the fiery Dragons,
the airy Fumis, the watery Chads and the earthbound Magogs.
Marisee and Robert - the Elemental Detectives - are back to solve
a third mystery on the streets of multi-cultural eighteenth century
London. A dragon is dreaming of a time when plague blighted
the city, when a mysterious cauldron was used for wicked
magic and what this would mean if it fell into the wrong hands
now... On a mission from the shores of the Thames, to the ghost-filled
gardens of Hyde Park and the forbidding Tower of London,
Marisee and Robert must use every ounce of ingenuity they possess
to defeat the most villainous foe yet... and find out some secrets
about their own families.






Big, bold, future classic storytelling for a new generation.


A London where magic sparks just beneath the surface - this book
is set to ignite young imaginations.

The third book in a captivating fantasy adventure series.
