"A beautifully written book, bristling with magic, set
in an ancient London filled with dragons, ghosts, water spirits,
and a mysterious, creeping sleeping-sickness that must be fought
by the brave young heroes. I loved it." Cressida Cowell,
Children’s Laureate & author of How to Train Your
Dragon.
Step into a London lit up by the Elemental spirits:
the fiery Dragons, the airy Fumis, the watery Chads and the
earthbound Magogs.
Marisee and Robert - the Elemental Detectives - are back
to solve another mystery on the streets of eighteenth century London.
An orchestra explodes in Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens and suddenly
the music of London disappears... and a terrifying monster
stirs off the Greenwich peninsular, threatening to trample
London underfoot. The detectives must track down the thief behind
the music's disappearance - via the Whispering Gallery of St
Paul's Cathedral, a Windmill-with-teeth on the Isle of Dogs and
the dark streets of Soho... where a shadowy villain and his mechanical
animal spies live.

Big, bold, future classic storytelling for a new generation.
A London where magic sparks just beneath the surface - this book
is set to ignite young imaginations.

The second book in a major new series.
