Moments later, they’d left war-ravaged London far behind, and materialised in an dense forest surrounded by trees which denied any sunlight.

Becky inhaled a deep breath, savouring the fresh, honey-sweet air which was far removed from the poisonous fumes they’d left behind.

‘Where are we now, then?’ Uncle Percy asked.

Joe scanned the immediate area. ‘I bet there’s a witch that lives in a gingerbread house round here somewhere.’

The Wraith laughed. ‘No witches, Joe, and no Hansel or Gretel, either. You are now in the Kingdom of Hungary in the early seventeenth century.’

‘And why are we here?’ Uncle Percy asked.

‘Because I wish to reward your achievements thus far with an overnight stay at my ancestral home, a rather splendid Romanesque castle,’ the Wraith said. ‘Like you, Percy, I, too, have blue blood running through my veins.’

Uncle Percy sighed. ‘Do we have to?’

‘You want to get to know me better, don’t you?’

‘I know as much as I need to know.’

‘But there is so much more to discover,’ the Wraith replied. The Jack pointed left at a winding forest path that tapered into the distance. ‘I want you to walk in that direction for ten minutes where you’ll come across a small village. I’ve organised for someone to meet you there who will take you to meet my Anya.’

Instantly, Becky recalled the riddle on the blackboard. ‘We’re going to meet Anya?’

‘You are,’ the Wraith replied. ‘But, in this case, Becky, Anya is not a Christian name – Anya is the Hungarian word for mother.’
