Years ago, the Emperor used dark magic to steal all the colour from the world. Now he keeps it for himself, enjoying its life-giving power while everyone else must exist in cold shades of grey. That is, until a miracle baby is born - everything she touches turns to colour. But the child' s life is in danger from her very first breath. Soon the Emperor' s murderous Ripper Dogs and Black Coats come hunting. Can the girl and her adopted father survive in the forest - and what will it take to return colour and hope to the world?
"Pure brilliance. . . A dazzling spectrum of non-stop thrills" -- Piers Torday "It' s as magical as it is original; infused with a glittering rainbow of strange enchantments, colourful characters, and brave hearts" -- Thomas Taylor
