The City of Guardian Stones

Jacob Sager Weinstein

Euan Cook

Join Hyacinth on a magical quest to save London in a uniquely hilarious and inventive fantasy adventure, the second in a trilogy.Hyacinth has just saved London, and possibly the world, from a magical conspiracy stretching back centuries. Not bad for a week of summer holiday. But why is her family linked to the ancient secrets of London? Hyacinth needs to find out, and when she discovers that Ancient Roman stones are being stolen from all around the city, it’s time for another adventure with the help of friends new and old, including Oaroboarus, a giant pig in a swimsuit.A fast-paced caper with a magical cast of characters including the dastardly Minnie Tickle whose skin is inscribed with powerful tattooes, a host of opinionated living stone sculptures, Hyacinth’s new neighbour Dasra (who may or may not be trustworthy) and the Corkers: a police force made entirely out of cork.

Jacob Sager Weinstein has written for The New Yorker, HBO and the BBC. He is also a former contributor to The Onion and has won a Writers’ Guild of America Award. Now living in London with his family, Jacob thought of the idea for City of Secret Rivers, the first in this trilogy, while walking along the Thames Embankment, as he started thinking about London’s secret underground rivers and “discovered that London’s history is so magical that it only takes the slightest of tweaks to make it into a fantasy story.” Follow Jacob on Twitter @jacobsw.
