Two families, alike in dignity ... and armed with powerful magic.
In the break between Third and Fourth Year at Whitehall School, Emily returns to Cockatrice where the latest Magical Faire is to be held. For Emily, it is a chance to relax, to spend time with her friends, to get to grips with her position as Baroness Cockatrice, to keep tabs on the changes she's introduced and prepare herself for the all-important Fourth Year. But a series of nasty surprises await her when she finally reaches her castle. She has to serve as judge, jury and executioner in court, something is up between two of her closest friends and disaster is looming over the Faire.
The Magical Families of Ashworth and Ashfall have been feuding for countless years, ever since something happened to split one family into two. Now, they have been invited to Cockatrice Faire ... when no other magician would dare invite them both. And when it becomes clear that Melissa, the Ashworth Heir, and Markus, the Ashfall Heir, have fallen in love with one another, Emily finds herself caught in the middle between two powerful families, each one capable of destroying her once and for all...
...And if she can't put an end to the feud, the final outright clash between the two families will spell doom for the Nameless World.
