Synopsis

Tricked into signing a royal contract, Oliver Lamb has precious little time for preparations before he is whisked off to Basthinia; there he must find a way to defend the country of Laubendum against an invasion of Sarcynthians, a southern tide flooding northwards and devouring everything in its path. Oliver and his schoolfriends Sage and Peregrin must navigate their way through squabbling senators, secretive monks, and cumbersome bureaucrats in the capital city, Nova Marmoxa, in order to help put aside national prejudices and discover what is really blighting the lands of Basthinia. To manage this, Oliver not only adjusts to a new look, courtesy of a magical medallion, but also takes part in many hazardous adventures – underground and overground, upstream and downtown – before he comes face to face with a most dangerous enemy at journey’s end.

À propos de l?auteur

Hamish Williams grew up in Cape Town, South Africa, “in a cottage ‘neath the mountain,” as his school song proudly declared, and a stone’s throw from the sea too. He has spent a good few years wandering through the mythical lands of Minoan Crete, Troy, Atlantis, and Middle-earth from the safety of his desk; still, he has been known to leave his hobbit hole (now located in Groningen, the northernmost part of the Netherlands) for some occasional adventures. Anke Eißmann is a freelance illustrator and graphic designer living and working in Germany. Since studying Visual Communication at Bauhaus University in Weimar, Germany, and Graphic Design at Colchester Institute in Colchester, UK, she has worked for a number of international publishers. Publications featuring her art include books on Greek mythology, fairytales and ghost-stories, adaptations of historic tales such as Beowulf, mixes of fantasy and historical subjects such as Naomi Novik’s Temeraire series, and several children’s books.
