Bookroo's summary

Victoria Stitch, a determined wiskling, refuses to accept her denied royal birthright. Unlike her twin Celestine, who gracefully accepts their fate, Victoria is consumed by a thirst for power. As the twins navigate their contrasting paths, the question looms: can they defy destiny and reshape their futures? In a world where moonlight meets sunshine, the stakes are high, and the allure of power is irresistible. Will Victoria's ambition lead to triumph or tragedy? Discover a tale of magic, ambition, and the quest to change one's fate in this gothic adventure.

From the publisher

The first entry in a glittering, gothic middle-grade series from the bestselling author of Isadora Moon books. Victoria Stitch will stop at nothing in her quest for power . . . ‘The crystal keeper gazed around him at the shards of impure crystal, glittering furiously on the floor, and shivered with a terrible sense of foreboding.’ Twins Victoria Stitch and Celestine are denied their royal birth-right. Celestine accepts the decision with good grace, but Victoria Stitch is consumed with her obsession for power. The twins are like moonlight and sunshine - could it be possible to break free of the role you have been given, rewrite your story, and change your own destiny? Victoria Stitch is a glamorous, glittering, wiskling - a miniature-sized fairy-like creature - and the series is perfect for fans of Tim Burton, Disney’s Descendants, and TheSchool for Good and Evil.
