Swashbuckling, romantic, and full of the sights and sounds of Shakespeare's London.
Sixteen-year-old Joan Sands is a gifted craftswoman and an exceptional swordsmith.
So skilled is her technique that she is one of very few women employed at the Globe Theatre, directing William Shakespeare and his troupe of actors in fierce scenes of combat. Of course, it helps that Joan is blessed with the power to control metal, thanks to Ogun, head deity of all Orishas.
But when a pact between the ancient Yoruba spirits and Fae is broken, only she can save the streets of London from peril. Joan must find a way to defeat them in battle by herself.
Okay, perhaps her twin brother James, blessed with gifts from Oya, can be of some help! And, despite the simmering tensions of a love triangle between herself, Rose, and Nick, Joan has a community of people to protect and who will protect her in return?
Every purchase you make supports the work of Shakespeare's Globe. Thank you!

Staff Review
This is a fun book filled with magic, tied to Shakespeare, and led by a strong female character who you cant help but wish you were a little more like. I thoroughly enjoyed getting sucked into this world of a metal manipulating heroine standing up against dark forces in Shakespearean London.
If you are a fan of Cassandra Clare you will love this book.
