Summary

For the last two years, since their parents' disappearances, 12-year-old Emily has supported her younger brother, William, by selling watercress on the streets of Victorian London. Now she takes on a weightier responsibility: protecting him, and all humankind, from the magical creatures who live invisibly in their midst and those who dwell in the faerie kingdom below London but plan to emerge and conquer the city. A straightforward, kindly girl, Emily is ill-prepared for the duplicity and cruelty of her opponents, but with the help of friends, she sets out with determination to deal with matters she does not fully understand
