City of Stolen Magic by Nazneen Ahmed Pathak
City of Stolen Magic is a spellbinding fantasy adventure woven together with threads of magic, secrets and colonial history.
In 1855, the British rule India and across the land Indian magic is being stamped out. More terrifying still, people born with magic are being snatched from their homes and rumour has it they are being taken across the sea to England.
When Chompa’s house is attacked and her mother is kidnapped, Chompa – born with powerful and dangerous magic that she has always been forbidden to use – must travel to London to find her. In London, Chompa will discover far more treachery than she had bargained for – and will learn that every act of her rare magic comes with a high price . . .
