Why did you think of creating something like this in particular, like I get the chancelets thing but why have the war and spys? What really inspired this?

Hi Maya! I'm so sorry to be late in answering this.
You have a good question. I set the story during World War 2 in part because I was inspired by the Narnia books by C.S. Lewis (which were set at that time, too) and in part because I think the war - and all wars - can stir up dark things in the world. So I wanted to play with that, with the idea that evil begets evil.
I hope that answers the question! Cheers and thanks - Janet

Hi Janet. I have read The Charmed Children of Rooksill Castle, which I really enjoyed. The Artifact Hunters is apparently a sequel, but the cover suggests a very different kind of book, less dark than the first one, maybe for a younger audience. Is this the case, or is it only that the cover designers decided to go in a different direction?
