What to expect

A dangerous cult craves a dark power.


The Legacy of Arniston House is the spellbinding fourth instalment of the Edinburgh Nights series by T. L. Huchu. Perfect for fans of Stranger Things and Rivers of London.

‘Engrossing and entertaining . . . with genuine emotion – and genuine betrayal’ – Genevieve Cogman, author of the Invisible Library series

Ropa Moyo is a wannabe magician, can speak to the dead, and has officially given up being an intern. Leaving Scottish magic behind, she now works for the English Sorcerer Royal. But just as she adjusts to working for the English, an old enemy reveals a devastating secret about her Gran, and Ropa’s world falls apart.

Outraged, she rushes home, but finds her grandmother dead – murdered – with no killer in sight. And now she’s the prime suspect. In a quest to find the true murderer, Ropa becomes caught in the dark tendrils of a cult, hell-bent on resurrecting an ancient power. Ropa must use her wits, her magic, and call in all favours to stop the ritual – and clear her name.

Praise for the Edinburgh Nights series:

Fast-moving and entertaining . . . Stupendously engaging’
– Ben Aaronovitch, author of the Rivers of London series

‘I am such a fan of T. L. Huchu and this series – I recommend it to everyone I meet’
– Olivie Blake, author of The Atlas Six

‘I highly recommend The Library of the Dead

Critics Review

Becomes more real and more exciting with every book. An artful combination of magic, history and imagination wrapped up in an engaging story

Ben Aaronovitch, bestselling author of Rivers of London on Our Lady of Mysterious Ailments

A clever mix of dark academia and rich, paranormal worldbuilding told with fun and wit. Ropa is an irresistible protagonist . . . There’s something here for everyone

Olivie Blake, author of The Atlas Six on The Edinburgh Nights Series

An absolute delight . . . kept me totally hooked

Genevieve Cogman, author of the Invisible Library series on The Library of the Dead

A fast-paced, future-set Edinburgh thriller . . . mixes magical mysteries with a streetwise style of writing

The Times

Ropa’s investigation is thrilling, but Huchu’s real skill lies in crafting a magical contemporary world that feels familiar yet filled with its own secrets . . . This is good fun
