Morrigan knows her time is up. She was born cursed. Her birthday is Eventide – the unluckiest day for a child to be born. She is blamed for all of the evils and misfortunes that occur in her town. It also means that she was supposed to die on her 11^th birthday…you read supposed to. Being rescued by a tall dashing ginger-haired man flying - in what seems to be a racing air balloon, and beating the shadowy creatures that were chasing them, results in her landing in a strange new world, Nevermoor. What trials does she have to face? Why is she so important?
