The year is 1325. In a quiet priory in Bristol, the monks are hard at work on a magnificent manuscript for the Archbishop, until disaster strikes. They’ve run out of ultramarine, the most precious blue in the world. Without it, the manuscript cannot be finished!

Determined to help, Sister Adalina and her loyal cat, Eggbert, set off on an extraordinary journey to collect more. Their quest takes them along the ancient trade routes, through lands alive with colour, culture, and perils.

Colours of the Silk Road invites readers to join their adventure in a series of interactive books that celebrate art, history, and the magic of pigments.
