Description
Protect your home. Conjure your fire. Fulfil your fate.
A gripping story about children finding their power within, with the guidance of the Black Knight from King Arthur's Round Table.
Fablehouse is a children’s home like no other. Heather and her friends who live here have magic at their fingertips. The children have a powerful friend in Pal, an Arthurian knight. But not everyone the children meet is on their side.
Fablehouse is threatened by an inspector who is searching for a reason to close down this safe haven for mixed-race children. The kids are desperate to save their home, but Pal is distracted. He cannot rest until he's completed the quest given to him by King Arthur centuries ago.
Can magic help the children to fulfil their destiny, or will they be more isolated than ever? Heather can conjure up fire, but is scared that she can't control it. Fire can destroy – but could Heather also use its warmth and protection to save her friends and their home?

‘An exciting adventure that’s full of heart’ The Week Junior
‘It’s hard not to imagine Enid Blyton creating this world – ginger beer even gets a mention. The plot rattles along briskly with a few creepy moments to spook younger readers and the odd reference to racism, very deftly handled. [...] A pleasing throwback to a bygone age of children’s literature.’ SFM Magazine
‘This is a wonderful book, full of hope and magic’ BookTrust
