A primary reading series developed with UCL Institute of Education to help children become confident, independent readers.
It has been almost two years since she defeated the vengeful spirit of her mother, but Vanja Ros – no longer Schmidt – has finally made a name for herself. She is a God Daughter, a (reformed) thief, and now a folk hero. She stands up for those with nothing, bringing justice and prosperity where she can.
But members of the royal families are turning up dead, found with Vanja’s calling card on the bodies. And as old flames, adversaries, and allies resurface, Vanja must face what it took to become the Pfennigist once and for all.
It will take everything she is to save not only herself and the people she loves, but time as we know it.
