welcome to the world of Arkspire.

Arkspire is a city obsessed by magic.

The five Arcanists - a group of all-powerful magicians - have protected the great city for as long as anyone can remember.

Within the hustle and bustle of these cobbled streets lives Juniper Bell, a thief who'd do anything for her family - even her unbelievably annoying sister, Elodie.

Then one night, something incredible happens.

A mysterious stolen relic (nothing to do with Juni, ahem.

.

.

) explodes, revealing a mysterious creature, Cinder - who appears to 'bond' with Juni.

The only creatures like that are allegedly dangerous enemies of the Arcanists .

.

.

and it's not long before they turn their attention to Juni.

Soon Juni, Cinder and everyone she loves are pulled into an extraordinary world of magic, power and prestige - but also grave danger.

It seems the world Juni thought she knew is nothing but a lie - and now only Juniper and Cinder can bring it down.
