In "The Sweet Far Thing," Gemma Doyle stands at the threshold of a world forever changed. Haunted by her mother's murder and burdened by her father's laudanum addiction, Gemma discovers she can traverse into the enchanted realms—a place where dark magic seethes and power awaits those bold enough to claim it.

As she binds the magic to herself, forging unexpected alliances, the forces of the Order and the Rakshana circle ever closer, each determined to control the realms. The mysterious reconstruction of Spence Academy's East Wing whispers secrets that could alter everything Gemma believes.

But when she reunites with her friend Pippa, now unsettlingly changed by the realms, their friendship faces its greatest trial. Loyalties are tested, and betrayals loom. With her London debut approaching, Gemma must decide whom to trust and where her destiny truly lies.

Will Gemma harness the magic to save both worlds, or will the shadows consume everything she holds dear?
