Petra Lord in conversation with Juno Dawson at Waterstones Piccadilly

Join us for an evening with author Petra Lord, as we celebrate her debut novel Queen of Faces. Ana is trapped in a boy’s body, and in a year, it will kill her. As Ana’s extraordinary magical ability grows, her body continues to fail her, all while hunting the most infamous dark mage of her time. With rebellion brewing, Ana steals, fights, and kills for the city of Paragon, discovering secrets that make her question everything she has ever known. From a hugely exciting and unique debut voice, Queen Of Faces is an unforgettable and epic fantasy that asks the biggest question – how can you be truly yourself?
