Alexas G. Griffithsas
In the dense forest, in a lonely cottage, there lives Fox. Fox is perfectly happy all by himself – until one day, a letter arrives: ‘Dear Fox: I know how much you enjoy puzzles. I bet you can’t resist this one. Head to the forest path to begin your journey. From an old friend.’
Fox doesn’t need any mysterious puzzles, adventures or memories of his old- But he stops himself from finishing the thought. Still, it can’t hurt to look at the first clue.

Thirteen-year-old Samm Wolfback lives in Glass Forest, a sprawling Faerae refugee camp in England. Life in Glass Forest is hard, poisoned by disease and crime and poverty. But Samm has a unique gift that lines his pockets – he can find lost things.
When Samm is thrust into the centre of a plot to escape Glass Forest and return home, he must use his gifts to unearth two treasures lost in the everyday: a relic that will end the war back in Faerae; and the only person with the power to reopen the door between worlds – the Locksmith. The task will take Samm to dark places filled with danger, from a grimly enchanted circus of nightmares to a museum housing a murderous exhibit, and he will have to use all of his skills to stay alive.
Meanwhile, in the human world, a kidnapped boy with a dark secret begins to realise that he might hold the key to the Faerae folks’ fate.
