Evil does not die. It merely sleeps â awakening when we least expect it.
Meadowhythe is again in danger â evil magical forces are growing stronger every day. Giants, flesh-eating birds and powerful sorcerers lie in wait for Tamly, Kym and Mel.
And this time they may not win.
Fantastically illustrated by DM Cornish.
