Clementina Maggysanty, an eccentric Professor of "Phantomology and Spectral History" at Hogwarts, uses the Christmas holidays to conduct her most ambitious research yet: to uncover the truth behind the Tower of London's purported hauntings. Armed with her ebony wand and her inseparable enchanted quill, she embarks on an adventure that will take her through the darkest and most enigmatic corners of the historic fortress.
What begins as a purely academic inquiry soon turns into an unexpected mystery when a spell reveals the existence of a spectral remnant where none should be. As Clementina follows the clues, her path crosses with that of James, a Tower Beefeater with an intense gaze and a curious blend of scepticism and sharp insight. Through witty banter and chance encounters, the two find themselves entangled in an enigma that will lead them to question not only the history of the Tower, but also their own beliefs.
As Christmas draws near, the apparitions become more frequent, and long-buried secrets begin to come to light. Can Clementina uncover the truth before it's too late? And what role does James play in this story that blends the magical with the mundane?
A novel filled with humour, mystery and a dash of romance, where magic and history intertwine in one of the most fascinating places on earth.
