Omschrijving

"Readers won't be
able to turn the pages fast enough."--Soman Chainani, New York Times-bestselling
author of The School for Good and Evil series

"An entertainingly
witchy world."--Kirkus Reviews
(starred review)

A suspenseful tale of witches, family, and magic from
internationally bestselling author Stefan Bachmann. When a twelve-year-old
orphan unexpectedly becomes the mistress of a seemingly abandoned castle, she
is thrust into a mysterious plot involving murderous spells, false identity,
and a magical battle of wills between the living and the dead. Readers of Kate
Milford's Greenglass
House,
Victoria Schwab's City of Ghosts, and Diana Wynne Jones will be riveted.

Twelve-year-old Zita, an orphan and a housemaid, has resigned herself to a life of drudgery. But one day a strange letter arrives, naming her the only living heir to the Brydgeborn fortune. Now the mistress of the castle, Zita soon realizes foul play led to
the death of her family. And as she is guided through lessons in the art of
witchcraft by the somewhat mysterious Mrs. Cantanker, Zita begins to wonder who
is friend and who is foe.

Unforgettable and utterly enchanting, this
stand-alone tale about family, belonging, and friendship will bewitch readers
of Tahereh Mafi's Whichwood, Katherine Arden's Small
Spaces, and Diana Wynne Jones's Howl's Moving Castle. Cinders
& Sparrows is a magical page-turner by the author of the acclaimed
international bestseller The Peculiar.
