About this book

Book Summary

The sixth part of this dramatic and exuberant fantasy adventure series. This is the second title to feature young librarian-knight, Rook, as he and his co-rebels combine forces to challenge the dark might of the Guardians of the Night who are taking more and more of the power in the Edgeworld. The oily Vox, once Most High Academe, and now a puppet ruler in New Sanctaphrax, becomes the focus in this dramatic and thrilling new adventure which is embellished throughout with marvelously imaginative black and white illustrations.

Media Reviews

"If fantasy is your favorite genre, then I suggest you read book one before book two just so you can savor all the characters and guess what might happen next. I have not read many fantasy novels, however this one did keep my attention. And I look forward to the third and last book in this trilogy. " - Children's Literature
