Rodová kletba byla zrušena a sestry Svízelovy (Bety, Fliss a Šája) mohou opustit vězeňský ostrov Vranní kámen. Když však do Pytlákova doupěte dorazí záhadná dívka s kapsou plnou čarodějnických kamenů a v doprovodu bludičky, zdá se, že na jejich prahu přistálo další dobrodružství. A když se Šája ztratí, je na Bety a Fliss, aby se vydaly na cestu mlžnými mokřady, kolem lovců bludiček až na tajuplný ostrov, který neexistuje na žádné mapě...
A spellbinding middle grade fantasy about three sisters--adventurous Betty, curious Charlie, and proper Fliss--who go on a quest to break the curse that's haunted their family for generations. All Betty Widdershins wants is an adventure--one that takes her far away from Crowstone, the gloomy island where she's always lived. But instead of an adventure, Betty and her sisters, Fliss and Charlie, are given of a set of magical objects, each with its own powers: a scruffy carpet bag, a set of wooden nesting dolls, and a gilt-framed mirror. And these magical objects come with their own terrible secret: the sisters' family is haunted by a generations-long curse that prevents them from ever leaving their island--at the cost of death. The sisters set out to break the curse and free their family forever. But after stumbling upon a mysterious prisoner who claims to be able to help them, they find themselves in great danger. And in order to break the curse--and stay alive--they must unravel a mystery that goes back centuries, one that involves shipwrecks, smugglers, and sorcery of the most perilous kind.
Midnight brings her reflection to life to keep herself company while Trixie is
at school. But instead of staying safely on the other side of the glass, the
mischievous mirror-cat escapes to cause chaos!
Join the Widdershins sisters for another breathtaking adventure in A Tangle of Spells, the eagerly anticipated follow-up to A Pinch of Magic and A Sprinkle of Sorcery by Michelle Harrison
