When Robin's great aunt Irene takes him and fellow Fae Jackalope on a trip to London, it triggers a series of events that will place at least one of them in deadly peril. For an unforeseen discovery in an art curator's office connects them to many mysterious and magical deeds - both good and evil - and forces the maturing young Robin to face his own history and all that entails.
As he moves between the worlds, Robin must face the challenges of the Grimms, tackle a spider-wielding maniac, navigate the waterfall city of the Panthea and explore the many deadly secrets of the Netherworlde's darkest forests.
Meanwhile, he has growing up to do and friendships to nurture, including those with the brooding Jackalope, enigmatic Karya and irrepressible (and unforgettable) Woad.
The Glassfire Serpent, Part I: Embers is an intriguing, immersive and fantastic tale - but will all of the characters survive its telling?
As Book Four in James Fahy's popular Changeling series, Embers will please those readers eagerly awaiting the next instalment of the saga, along with anyone else who loves wonderful fantasy tales, be they 10 or 110 years old.

James Fahy lives in the North of England, close to wild moors and adjacent to a haunted wind farm, with his extremely patient and long-suffering family and an Akita dog named Okami. In due course, James plans to buy a raven and name it Quoth. He is the author of the Changeling fantasy series, which follows the adventures of Robin, a seemingly unremarkable boy who is swept up into a war between our world and the Netherworlde, a shadowy realm which lies beyond our own. In addition to fantasy, James writes science fiction, urban gothic and steampunk, for people old enough to know better.
