Synopsis

In the electrifying second installment of Juno Dawson's acclaimed fantasy series, "The Shadow Cabinet" plunges readers into a world where magic and political intrigue collide. Following the demise of Niamh Kelly, her troubled twin, Ciara, assumes her identity, forced to deceive Her Majesty's Royal Coven and the suspicious Shadow Cabinet as they prepare for a High Priestess coronation. Grappling with amnesia, Ciara must reconstruct her past while navigating a dangerous present where past lovers and hidden agendas threaten to unravel her masquerade. Simultaneously, Leonie Jackman embarks on a perilous quest across continents, tracking the renegade warlock Dabney Hale, who seeks a dark object of immense power linked to the highest echelons of the British government. With the fate of all witchkind—and humanity—hanging precariously in the balance, Ciara, Leonie, Elle, and Theo must unite their fierce, unapologetic spirits. This sharp, funny, and provocative sequel redefines sisterhood and challenges everything they thought they knew about their world and themselves.
