A wonderful new book from the award-winning L.S. Matthews, this is the tale of Lexi, alone in a city of stories ...
Lexi remembers nothing - not even her name. Waking in the forest, she has only one clue: the tiny silver key on a chain round her neck.
Drawn in by the city, she meets the children of the streets. Their dangerous world is full of myths: the Warrior Angels, the Scarlet Prince ...
And so begins Lexi's search for her lost memories ...
