THE CONJURER'S RIDDLE

The exciting sequel to the young adult alternate history series where the British stamped out the American Revolution before it had even begun!

With the aid of French?allied Algonquin Indians, the homeless revolutionaries led by Char? lotte, Ash, and the rest of the crew, make their way to the Mississippi River. They gain snip? pets of information about the state of the conflict in the borderlands and secure passage along the river as they try to track down their parents. This leads them to the French city of New Or? leans, where the Resistance is encamped. Informed about Grave’s past and the Empire’s plans, the beleaguered fighters are torn be? tween despair and the desire for a last stand. As they debate a strategy, pirates arrive with a crew of British soldiers as prisoners they’re hoping to sell to the French as hostages. Among the prisoners are Jack and Coe who were on their way to New Orleans in the hopes of per? suading France to declare war on the British. Their arrival creates more tension between the brothers and Charlotte. Grave learns that not only is he the ideal laborer, he is also a near per? fect soldier—impervious to harm and almost impossible to kill. This knowledge makes some of the Resistance believe that Grave and his inventor father must be killed to stop the secrets of this technology from ever reaching the Empire. When an attempt to kill Grave fails and the plot is uncovered, the young revolutionaries leave the Resistance to travel with the pirates back to New York to stop the hardline faction’s plans to kill Grave’s father. Meanwhile in New Orleans, Birch, Grave, Scoff, and Pip are drawn into a world of conjuring and voodoo magic that offers insight into Grave’s future and a way to bring an end to the empire.
