Deep in the walls of Cupola lies a secret. A 200 year old magical secret. And it’s up to Anya and her friends to solve it.

Meet Anya, a twelve year old girl with utterly no direction in life. Meet Taika, her best friend who can make a potion strong enough to cure a weregoblin, but may forget to warn you that it can explode at any moment. And then there’s Gevin. Yeah … well … Gevin’s just Gevin isn’t he?

These three unlikely heroes will have to brew potions, battle monsters, and even endure the night-of-the-overturned-chicken-stool before discovering the deepest mysteries of Cupola.

Twelve-year-old Anya lives in the village of Cupola with her annoying older brother, and their mother. Her father disappeared in mysterious circumstances when she was just a little girl.

Anya lives in a time when children had to go to work to help their families keep a roof over their heads, and food in their bellies. It is not long after starting her new job as a Kitchen Elf, at the Kingdom of Cupola, when she and her two best friends, Taika and Gevin, uncover hundreds of years old secrets about Cupola.

Needing to discover all the answers, including why the Knights of the village are going missing, the three of them set out on a dangerous quest which will see them facing trolls, witches and even a very annoyed queen! But can the three of them discover all that Cupola has to hide?

Anya and the Secrets of Cupola is an exciting and magical children’s book, most likely best suited to children 8 and above. The plot will keep young minds occupied and engaged as the youngsters go on some epic quests and have fun-filled adventures, alongside a few awesome battles.
