The Secret of the Moonshard Summary

The Secret of the Moonshard by Struan Murray

'Sensational storytelling' - AF Steadman, author of Skandar and the Unicorn Thief.

The thrilling new magical adventure from Branford Boase winner Struan Murray.


Domino has lived her whole life believing that just one drop of magic could kill her.

Held in a floating laboratory by scheming Science Barons, she has never known a single day of freedom.

When Domino discovers that everything she's been told by the Barons is a lie, she escapes to Abzalaymon, a wondrous city filled with scientific marvels, hulking thunder lizards and hidden magic.

But the Barons are soon on Domino's trail. Because a war is brewing between science and magic. A war that could destroy the world. And Domino might just be the key to saving everyone . . .

'This is a perfect fantasy adventure' - Katya Balen, author of October, October.

A kaleidoscopic, rollicking adventure full of wit and warmth and breathtaking imagination. I loved it! * Ross Montgomery, author of Spellstone *
The Secret of the Moonshard is absorbing and imaginative magical fantasy at its very best. Struan’s wonderful storytelling gave me the spellbinding feeling of Howl’s Moving Castle mixed with Nevermoor plus a dash of Jurassic Park.

A rollicking, full-hearted fantasy adventure full of marvellous invention and wild imagination. I love Domino 4eva! * Kiran Millwood Hargrave, author of The Girl of Ink and Stars *
