Nevermoor 01: The Trials of Morrigan Crow | Townsend, Jessica

Not only does Morrigan Crow's curse mean she's blamed for all bad luck, she's also destined to die on her Eleventh birthday. She bravely accepts her doom, but in a Very surprising twist of fate, before the clock strikes twelve on Eventide and the howling shadow wolves arrive, she's whisked away by a Remarkable man called Jupiter North and taken to the secret city of Nevermoor. Morrigan cannot believe her luck when she's given a Once-in-a-lifetime chance to join the Wundrous Society - a place of mystery, magic and protection. Only first she must pass four impossible trials using an exceptional talent (which she doesn't have). Racing against time, can Morrigan claim her place in this wild, wondrous city before the shadows catch up with her?
