About this book

Behind a household fire lies a fairy world of glowing gardens, misty woods and the great Plain of Ash. Gertrude Crownfield places a lonely Shadow Witch between the cheerful Land of Fire and her brother's forbidding Cave of Darkness. After helping Prince Radiance escape danger, she finds her old surroundings less satisfying. When the Wizard sends an urgent appeal for her help, she must weigh his apparent need against her knowledge of his craftiness.

This children's fairy tale gives familiar hearthside sights their own voices and powers: shadows serve their mistress, smoke becomes a giant, and the chimney wind sweeps through the magical landscape. Prince Ember's encounter with the Wizard brings another kind of suspense, as an invisibility spell is tested against hostile enchantments. The contrast between warmth and gloom gives the story a clear imaginative shape, with loyalty, courage and the wish for happiness at its centre.
