The dazzling follow-up to the phenomenal The Book of Stolen Dreams from the creator of BBC's The Night Manager David Farr, perfect for fans of Katherine Rundell and Philip Pullman.
When Rachel and her brother Robert defeated the tyrannical President Malstain and saved all of Krasnia, they became heroes. But the battle between good and evil has only just begun.
Rachel has a blood-red key and, as a Keeper of the Key, she cannot refuse its demands. So, when a young girl, Elsa Spiegel, is kidnapped and taken to the Hinterland, Rachel must answer the key's call. With time running out, Rachel realises that it's not just Elsa she must save, but the world as she knows it...
