Years ago, the Emperor used dark magic to steal all the colour from the world. Now he keeps it for himself, enjoying its life-giving power while everyone else must exist in cold shades of grey. That is, until a miracle baby is born—everything she touches turns to colour. But the child’s life is in danger from her very first breath. Soon the Emperor’s murderous Ripper Dogs and Black Coats come hunting. Can the girl and her adopted father survive in the forest—and what will it take to return colour and hope to the world?

Having the ability to see fairies means that Tanya Fairchild's life has never been easy. After all, real fairies are nothing like the ones in books, ones that grant wishes or leave money for teeth. Real fairies don't like to be talked about, and they cast spells if Tanya steps out of line. The most she's ever received in exchange for one of her teeth is a chewed up toffee. Of course, it would help if Tanya knew someone - anyone - else who could see them, too....

Aimed at kids?
Well so was Harry Potter. Another great book from m Ross. We really enjoy his stories it actually makes it worthwhile going to places that don’t have radio or mobile reception!
These stories are a great way to enjoy a book characters are believable & within the realm of imagination. Can’t wait for the next to be audiblized. Love the actual books but sometimes especially on journeys we don’t have time to read & music or radio just isn’t escapism but a book - well you go off into the authors world - pity sometimes we have to return to reality
Can’t wait to read Ross Mackenzie’s next
