For Children
From award-winning writer, Daniel Dockery, comes the exciting new installment of the Wendington Jones series, packed full of mystery and adventure. Perfect for readers of Robin Stevens and Sharna Jackson, this blend of history and thrilling action will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Wendington Jones, daughter, friend and adventurer, needed a mystery. Little did she know, she’d find one tending to the roses in the middle of a winter’s night. But it was no strange gardener at her house; instead the supposedly dead Russian monk, Rasputin, on the search for Anastasia Romanov, a young girl who, like Wendington, had died under tragic circumstances. And also much like Wendington, the young princess’s death had not stuck. And now she was on the run for her life – from history, from Rasputin and from others after her power to seemingly save herself from death.
