Synopsis

First in a brand-new fantasy series from acclaimed author Anna James, filled with seasonal magic and exciting adventure

In Whetherwhy, everyone has magic inside them – grown from the changing seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter. But a rare few are Enchanters: people born with magic in their bones, who can wield all four seasons of magic.

When Juniper discovers she is an Enchanter, she must leave behind everything she knows to begin studying at the Thistledown Academy of Enchantment. Unwilling to be left behind, her twin brother, Rafferty, decides to follow, and takes up an apprenticeship at a nearby bookbinder.

As Juniper makes new friends and learns how to wield enchantment, Rafferty becomes involved with a mysterious secret society that meet after dark. As the magic of Whetherwhy starts to lose balance, and the school is attacked by dangerous monsters, the twins must work together to save all of Whetherwhy from those who wish enchantment for themselves.
