Enchanter's Child, Book Two: Midnight Train

In the second magical volume of the Enchanter’s Child duology by Angie Sage, Alex continues her quest to destroy the Twilight Hauntings and save the Enchanters and their children. With the help of her father and new allies, she searches for the magical talisman, the Tau, that can stop the monstrous enchantments. Along the way, Alex hones her magical skills and learns valuable lessons about family and friends. In the first book of the Enchanter's Child duology, Alex discovered the truth: Not only does she possess magical powers but her father is Hagos RavenStarr, who was once the king's Enchanter. Alex is pursued by the fiendish Twilight Hauntings, monstrous Enchantments created because a prophecy foretold the king's death at the hands of an Enchanter's Child. The Twilight Hauntings are designed to rid the land of all Enchanters and their children, but Alex has other ideas. Why should she be forced to leave the place where she belongs? So now Alex is on a mission to destroy the Twilight Hauntings. And to do so she must find the very thing that created them--a magical talisman called the Tau. In her search for the Tau, Alex enlists the reluctant help of her father and a strange assortment of people along the way. As she travels, Alex hones her magical skills and learns that even family and friends can surprise her.
