Description
'Why are you worried? You have us beside you! We've captured three spirits already. We've beaten Endwatchers, two clans, snakes, plagues and a whole ocean of disgusting maggots.' After capturing Charice, there is only one spirit left for Uki to find: Mortix, the most dangerous of all. With his friends Jori, Cole and Kree, Uki heads to Eisenfell - the greatest city in Hulstland - only to find that Mortix has taken control of Emperor Ash and is plotting to conquer the whole Five Realms with her terrifying army. Uki must dodge the Endwatch, the Shrikes, Clan Septys and the guards and find a way to complete his quest before all is lost. 'Superb.' - Max Porter 'A spellbinding story full of friendship, excitement and magic.' - Guardian 'A classic.' - BookTrust 'Riveting adventure.' - Kirkus
Author Biography
Kieran Larwood has loved fantasy stories ever since reading The Hobbit. He worked as a teacher and has just about recovered. He now writes full-time although, if anybody was watching, they might think he just daydreams a lot. His mapping out of the word of The Five Realms is second to none, so it's no wonder his books are such an immersive thrill. David Wyatt is an illustrator living in Devon. He has illustrated tales by well-known authors such as Terry Pratchett, Philip Pullman and J. R. R. Tolkien.
Reviews'Storytelling perfection.' - Sophie Anderson 'Pure magic.' - Abi Elphinstone
