Set in an imagined past, this dark fantasy-adventure is for fans of Philip Pullman's The Golden Compass. Features Jemma, a fiery-headed heroine held captive in Agromond Castle, yet destined to save mist-shrouded Anglavia.

Fiery-headed Jemma Agromond is not who she thinks she is, and when the secrets and lies behind her life at mist-shrouded Agromond Castle begin to unravel, she finds herself in a chilling race for her life. Ghosts and misfits, a stone and crystals, a mysterious book, an ancient prophecy—all these reveal the truth about Jemma's past and a destiny far greater and more dangerous than she could have imagined in her wildest fantasies. With her telepathic golden rats, Noodle and Pie, and her trusted friend, Digby, Jemma navigates increasingly dark forces, as helpers both seen and unseen, gather. But in the end, it is her own powers that she must bring to light, for only she has the key to defeating the evil ones and fulfilling the prophecy that will bring back the sun and restore peace in Anglavia.

      Jemma has always lived in Agromond Castle with her parents and siblings--or so she thought. But on her thirteenth birthday she discovers their grand deception. The people she thought were her parents kidnapped her to harvest her magical powers. Now Jemma must escape the mist that surrounds the castle to locate her real parents and defeat the Agromonds. Rosalyn Landor's narration presents a distinct cast of characters with memorable voices. Her lilting reading evokes the magic that surrounds Jemma. But Jemma's continual protestations of desperation are overly repetitive, and so is the story's dialogue. At times, Landor is able to engage the listener with the promise of Jemma's destiny, but she can't entirely rescue an overlong story with a melodramatic heroine. C.A.
