New In - Keeper Of The Realms

We have two new books for you this week by the author, Marcus Alexander.

About the book...

Charlie Keeper has been forced from her home by a bloodthirsty and terrifying stranger. But in escaping she discovers her house holds the gateway to the realm of Bellania - a place of myth, magic... and an evil lord a very bad attitude. Now its fate rests squarely upon Charlie's shoulders. But before she can untangle the mystery that will save Bellania she needs the answer to a life-changing secret that her guardian, the dastardly Mr Crow, has been keeping from her... Just who is Charlie Keeper?

 

About the book...

Imprisoned in the mythical world of Bellania, Charlie Keeper is at the mercy of Lord Bane's guards while her loyal friends have been sold into slavery. When the terrifying Edge Darkmount breaks into her cell, he promises to decipher the meaning of her mysterious pendent - and unlock the secrets of Bellania - if she will help him revenge on Bane. But can she trust him? The future of the realm relies on Charlie's special powers. Even if she escapes it may take more than she can summon to overthrow the evil lord - it may take an entire army...

A little bit about the book...

But things are not what they seem, and the Singing Mermaid soon finds herself confined to a fish tank, longing for the freedom of the ocean. Luckily a sharp-eyed seagull and a clever circus acrobat are on hand, and come up with a plan to help the Singing Mermaid escape.
