Six weeks since the skyrocket. Six weeks since Imogen Whitfield turned sixteen and her grandfather's gift became hers - and then kept becoming more than she'd bargained for. Immie can read objects now. Touch a button from someone's coat and receive their whole worried life. Hold an old iron key and find herself in a lamplit room in Edinburgh, watching a man write in an enormous leather-bound ledger with the certainty of someone who has been doing this for a very long time. The Collectors have been doing this for seven hundred years. They take magical gifts from practitioners and record the takings: name, date, what was taken. Forty-seven souls are bound in the Edinburgh ledger. In a lane in Dublin, the founding document of their entire institution sits on a reading table - misread, since the fourteenth century, as permission for everything they've done. With her circle - Priya and her protocols, Monika and her gift for receiving what is freed, and Rosamund Vass, who has been waiting two years for someone to hear what she encoded into a folklore book on a Scottish train - Immie plans two operations. One to destroy the ledger. One to correct five hundred years of institutional misreading. The story of the Ledger moves from Perth to Edinburgh to Dublin and finally to the west coast of Ireland. It is a novel about what it means to fully focus on someone correctly. It is the second book in The Magician's Granddaughter series by Patrick Maher.

About the Author

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book.
