Unlock the legends. Unleash the magic. Save your home.

'An exciting, heartrending story with a magical twist' - Jacqueline Wilson

Fablehouse is a children’s home like no other. It’s a safe haven for Heather and her friends, sheltering them from a society that won’t accept the colour of their skin. But soon that is not the only danger that threatens them. When mysterious spirits infiltrate the house, stealing away some of the children, the friends must follow them to the heart of the underworld. There they find a magical court from Arthurian legend, where bewitched creatures are hatching a plan to take over the human world. With Pal, the gallant Black Knight, by their side, Heather and friends must resist the glamour of the Fae and battle the Champion. Can they find the inner strength they'll need to save their home?

‘A powerful and important book, bursting with hope and wonder. Fablehouse is a glorious celebration of friendship ’ - Tolá Okogwu, author of Onyeka and the Academy of the Sun

‘Exciting, important and endlessly entertaining … this is going to be huge’ - Maz Evans, author of Who Let the Gods Out

‘Fast-paced and full of heart … a wonderful celebration of friendship, folklore and finding your place in the world’ Anna James, author of Pages & Co.
