Like A Curse
Edinburgh is a city filled with magical creatures that no-one can see... except Ramya Knox.
Magic, friendship and sticky situations aplenty, as the adventures of Ramya Knox continue in this delightful sequel to Like a Charm.
Stuck in Loch Ness while Edinburgh falls under the control of a terrifyingly powerful Siren, Ramya Knox is
frustrated. She’s supposed to be learning magic from her Aunt Opal, but that isn’t going as smoothly as she’d hoped. As she pushes to rescue her Hidden Folk friends in the city, long-buried secrets come to light and legends come to life. Ramya knows she’s different; she knows she’s a witch. But now she must learn the true meaning of her powers... before all she loves is lost.
