Description

The green comet is coming closer, pulling magic back into the world as it comes. Jack and Estelle have been missing for months, thought drowned, and now have an idyllic new life on the sea bed with no memory of their loved ones. But it's not a good time for our heroes to have amnesia, as old and new foes gather with a plan to reshape the world forever.

The dawn of a new century. A mysterious green comet appears in the sky. As the comet draws ever nearer, strange events start to become part of everyday life. The Year of Wonders has begun. People wake up to find a world of marvels outside their window. There’s a troll under London Bridge. Mermaids are swimming up the Mississippi. Is that a dragon trying to hatch the Taj Mahal? And every rainbow ends in a pot of gold. Fantasy is part of the everyday world and nothing will be the same again. But fantasy is a coin with two sides, and there are also age-old nightmares waiting in the darkness to become real again.
