The jewel seed is a powerful source of magic - or both good and evil. But it's lost. No-one knows where. Only Nonnie, a young orphan girl living with her aunt in London, holds the key. Can she unravel the mystery before her worst enemies, a group of Siberian witches, catch up with her? And will she ever find her lost sister, who seems to be the cause of some very strange goings on? Stunning black and white illustrations accompany this gripping and unusual story.
