Illusion
By Stephanie Elmas
London, 1873.
Returning home from his travels across the globe, Walter Balanchine is noted for the charms, potions and locket hanging from his neck. Living in a cemetery with his pet panther, Sinbad, word soon spreads of his healing and magical abilities and Walter becomes a sought after party performer.

Filled with mystery, magic and larger than life characters, Illusion will keep you guessing until the very last page.
