Synopsis

‘Good and evil lurks around each twist and turn, and the characters live and breathe on every page.'

Madach empire-builder Lord Rafe wants the trees - all of them. And he wants the Danae too - all of them.

Callie's forest rings to the thwack of enemy axes. Her people are trapped. Their leaders scoff at her warnings of the Danae's fate at the hands of the invaders - their Forest razed and themselves sold as fairytale slaves. When Callie searches for help in the secret places of the forest, she discovers her own magic. Will it be enough? The gryphon who watched over the forest is dying, her successor a mere baby. The wild creatures will fight. But Callie also needs Tristan, the son of the destroyer. Will Tristan betray his father? Can Callie and the creatures stop the desolation?

For 9 yrs old and over, and lovers of fantasy adventure, forests and mythical beasts of any age.
