Protect your home. Conjure your fire. Fulfil your fate. A gripping story about children finding their power within, with the guidance of the Black Knight from King Arthur’s Round Table. Fablehouse is a children’s home like no other. Heather and her friends who live here have magic at their fingertips. The children have a powerful friend in Pal, an Arthurian knight. But not everyone the children meet is on their side.
Emma Norry is the acclaimed author of Fablehouse (Bloomsbury, 2023) and several previous children’s books. She has a BA (Hons) in Film and an MA in Screenwriting. She was born in Cardiff and grew up in the care system. She now lives in Bournemouth with her husband and children and works in further education. Emma’s previous books include Son of the Circus (Scholastic, 2019), which was shortlisted for the Diverse Book Awards, and Amber Under Cover (OUP, 2021).
