About the book

From the Sunday Times bestselling author of Threadneedle comes this enchanting new novella

“The unopenable box. A mythical object that appears in fairy tales and folklore across all cultures around the world. Sometimes the box can only be opened by the right person at the right time, such a rightful heir, and in other tales it is considered a warning. A test given to the protagonist who are typically forbidden from opening the box. When they eventually succumb, what they unleash cannot be put back in.”

At home one memorable summer, Miranda unearths a mysterious suitcase in her attic that once belonged to her late grandmother. Inside, she finds a strange and unopenable wooden box.

Determined to discover what’s inside, she ends up enlisting the help of Maya, the owner of a local spiritualist shop, and is drawn into a world of witchcraft, magic and temptation.

As she tries to keep up appearances as the perfect daughter, her discovery threatens to tear everything apart, putting everyone around her in danger.

Can she find a way to stay in control or would the box have been better left buried?

Taking place before events in Threadneedle and Shadowstitch, this is a perfect read for not just fans of the series, but for anyone who loves to be transported by magical fantasy.

About the Author

Cari Thomas

Cari’s first story, at 7 years old, was about a witch who took over her school. Many years later she graduated with first class honours from Warwick’s English Literature and Creative Writing course and gained a Distinction in Magazine Journalism at The Cardiff School of Journalism.​She landed her first journalism job at teen magazine Sugar where she was put in charge of the YA book club. Writing book reviews and attending launches confirmed her suspicion that this was her world. She went on to work in consumer publishing and as a digital strategist at a creative agency, learning how to apply storytelling techniques to multimedia brand campaigns. All spare moments were spent dreaming up ideas for her book series while accumulating an odd collection of research books on magic and the occult.Her Language of Magic series, set in contemporary London, is also about witches and they’re still causing just as much chaos.
