The Reading Order:

• Trap (Book 1): Cad guards a secret. When tragedy strikes, she’s imprisoned in Catrin Castle’s high tower. With help from Rhys and Dylan, can she escape and save her brother?
• Cipher (Book 2): A sickness spreads. A stolen cipher may hold the cure. Cad must solve the puzzle before time runs out – and face a dangerous truth alone.
• Siege (Book 3): Catrin Castle is under attack. Cad wakes with no memory, unable to speak. With a giant trebuchet looming, she must stop a deadlier threat.
• Escape (Book 4): Treason runs deep. Cad and her companions uncover secrets as chaos unfolds. Can they expose the truth and survive what’s to come?

Read these four prequels in order before continuing to The Cadwaladr Quests – a standalone 11+ vocabulary reading trilogy set in the modern day with twists.
