ALLURE

"Tempts you to untie the string.
In the parcel a small island,
On the island a large tree."

After being forced to leave her home and mother in London because of war, eleven year old Lily was taken under the roof of Madame Alma, a sweet and charming old woman, and also... a complete stranger.

While living in a beautiful mansion away from gruesome ordeals comes Madame Alma's house rules: No wandering at night. No playing in empty rooms. No talking with pixies.

After unearthing a gateway to Ellura, a land where magic thrives and deceit is sugar coated, Lily learns that not all that glitter is gold. Some are only pixies luring children for their queen.

"With the travel-between-worlds of Narnia, the grotesque creatures of Alice in Wonderland, and the dark twist similar to that of Coraline, you'll grow to love Allure."
