“I loved losing myself in this beautifully realised, enchanting world!” Sophie Anderson

Beware the firebird who grants wishes…they come at a terrible price.

Lavender Wild is a magpie girl – she grows feathers, talks to birds and has a talent for finding lost things. But stuck in her tiny village, she wishes for freedom.

So when her ex-friend Kit realizes his dad has gone missing on the deadly firebird’s mountain, Lavender seizes the chance to set out with him on a rescue mission.

Faced with earthquakes, daemons and witches, Lavender and Kit must rebuild their friendship to survive. Because the firebird is rising, and only they can save everyone from its flames.
