About the Book
There’s a magical and political storm brewing – and Aubrey Fitzwilliam is making sure he’s right in the centre of it...
Aubrey Fitzwilliam is the son of a prominent ex-prime minister. He’s also brilliant at magic, but he’s stuck at boarding school. At least he has his best friend, George, there to back him up. George would follow Aubrey anywhere – and with Aubrey’s talent for thinking up daring schemes that will get them both into trouble, that’s no easy thing to do.
At a weekend shooting party at Prince Albert’s country estate, the boys find themselves in a hotbed of political intrigue. They discover a golem, a magical creature built to perform one task: to kill Prince Albert. Aubrey and George are hailed as heroes for foiling the attempt on the prince’s’ life – but who sent the golem, and why? Aubrey is far too curious to let the authorities handle this one, and he and George start investigating...
