Unlock the legends. Unleash the magic. Save your home. A gripping story about children finding their power within, with the guidance of the Black Knight from King Arthur's Round Table. Fablehouse is a children's home like no other. Heather and her friends who live here have magic at their fingertips. The children have a powerful friend in Pal, an Arthurian knight who teaches them to harness the powers they find within themselves. But not everyone the children meet is on their side. The children at Fablehouse are the 'Brown Babies', children born to Black American GIs and white British women during the Second World War. Fablehouse is threatened by a care-home inspector who is searching for a reason to close down this safe haven for mixed-race children. The kids and their devoted carer Miss Isolde vow to save their home, but Pal is distracted. He cannot rest until he's completed the quest given to him by King Arthur centuries ago. Can magic help the residents of Fablehouse fulfil their destiny, or will it leave them more excluded from society than ever? Heather can conjure flames from her fingertips but is scared that she will never learn to control its force. She knows that fire can destroy – can she also learn how to make it protect her, her friends and their beloved home?
