An epic and exciting adventure for readers 8+ by the author of the bestselling Land of Roar series. Perfect for fans of BBC’s Ghosts!
Sid Jones has always known she is different,
but after accidentally freeing a 300-year-old

Sid realises that she has actual MAGIC!
Sid starts to use her magic to free more ghosts,
who have all been trapped by the sinister innkeeper.
But then a mysterious sickness strikes the people
of Fathom. Can Sid and best friend Zen solve the
mystery, save the town and free the ghosts?
A truly epic conclusion to this dynamite duology from the bestselling author of the Land of Roar series
