Description
Christopher is visiting his reclusive grandfather when he witnesses an avalanche of mythical creatures tearing down the hill. He discovers that his grandfather guards one of the ways between the non-magical world and the Archipelago, a cluster of magical islands where creatures from myth live, breed and thrive alongside humans. Protected from discovery for thousands of years, the islands are now dangerously exposed. Then Mal arrives in Christopher’s world with a flying coat, a killer on her trail and a quest to find a baby griffin. Together, Mal, Christopher and the griffin embark on an urgent journey across the wild splendour of the Archipelago, where sphinxes guard secrets and centaurs commit murder. They must uncover the truth and face questions of power, knowledge and what love demands, with unimaginable consequences for both their worlds. Katherine Rundell’s imaginative fantasy is praised by Michael Morpurgo, Jacqueline Wilson, Neil Gaiman, Kiran Millwood Hargrave, Frank Cottrell-Boyce, Sam Sedgman, Catherine Doyle and Lauren St. John.
