}}

Oksa is a French girl whose family has just moved to London to open a restaurant with the parents of her best friend Gus. She is a determined (some might say headstrong) and energetic thirteen-year-old whose lively imagination often leads her to see herself as a ninja warrior. But the truth is far more astonishing. She and her family come from a magical hidden land called Edefia, and she is soon to discover that she has a unique and terrifying destiny, one which will put her and everyone she holds dear in serious danger.

Another young girl who finds she is to be a queen can be found in the excellent [[City of Thieves by Ellen Renner]], and a girl with unusual talents who has to battle original and terrifying villains will be encountered in the seriously spooky [[Lockwood and Co: The Screaming Staircase by Jonathan Stroud]].
