Crix was a young Cricken (the cricket sapiens) from a magical nook of Amber Heights and he never liked war affairs. In fact, he was a keen collector of secrets!

When he and the suit of the First Light had left the premises of the shah, the image of the purple spider he saw there had puzzled him.

Back at Amber Heights, his friend Legen (Green Elf) was waiting for him with a plan! This time, with the help of Uncle Dirp (the Hedgen of the forest), they unravel even more troubles the castle of Nabadeen was hunting after.

Morrigan Crow is cursed. Born on Eventide, the unluckiest day for any child to be born, she is blamed for all local misfortunes, from hailstorms to heart attacks. Worst of all, the curse means that Morrigan is doomed to die at midnight on her eleventh birthday.

As Morrigan awaits her fate, a strange and remarkable man named Jupiter North appears. Chased by black-smoke hounds and shadowy hunters on horseback, he whisks her away into the safety of a secret, magical city called Nevermoor.

It's then that Morrigan discovers Jupiter has chosen her to contend for a place in the city's most prestigious organization: the Wundrous Society. In order to join, she must compete in four difficult and dangerous trials against hundreds of other children, each boasting an extraordinary talent that sets them apart - an extraordinary talent that Morrigan insists she does not have.

To stay in the safety of Nevermoor for good, Morrigan will need to find a way to pass the tests - or she'll have to leave the city to confront her deadly fate.

Before long, Kate, Michael, and Emma are on a journey through time to dangerous and secret corners of the world...a journey of allies and enemies, of magic and mayhem. And—if an ancient prophecy is correct—what they do can change history, and it is up to them to set things right.
