Life changes, but what if everything you ever believed turned out to be a lie? With every goodness taken away from her, how will Kialessa find herself in a cruel and distant world? Or will she finally discover for herself what it was that her father would never speak of when he told the old stories of 'the lands beyond the mountains'… "I loved this book. It was very mysterious and the battle scene at the end was intense, so I had to keep reading to see how it would end! The plot unfolds like a jigsaw puzzle where you don't know what the complete picture is until it's finished. It's great to have such a strong and clever girl as the main character, … I hope there will be more books about Kialessa to follow as I want to know what happens next!" - Sophie, aged 11. Impressive that you wrote it. I'm like, 'Wow, so talented'! - Emily.

War breaks upon the peaceful kingdom of Lenmer’el. The troll hordes are massing at the edge of the Broadwaters River. Uniting them for the first time in three hundred years is an ambitious new warlord who wields the Greenflame Sabre, a powerful troll artefact which was supposed to be hidden in the deepest vaults of the magical castle at Emerel. Now all he requires is the Spear of the Blood Lord and all troll fealty with it, and an army half a million strong will sweep across the great kingdom in less than a year, destroying all in their path. And the first obstacle in that path is Kialessa and her closest friends… ‘I just finished it and I already want to re-read it! It’s definitely one of the most exciting books I’ve ever read!’ Ivy, 7  ‘A powerfully moving addition to an already beautiful and philosophical series.’ Emily, 20 ‘Great! New readers would enjoy the familiarity and purpose of the characters. They are incredibly endearing and you find yourself getting attached to each one, hoping the best for them. The drama that unfolds throughout the story, keeps you guessing and wanting to know what happens next, keeping the reader engaged.’ Jessie Williams, Melton Christian College ‘I found myself being quite intrigued in the story, I could see it come to life before my eyes and I must say I did very much love that I found myself questioning and getting lost in the fantasy that could potentially be real.’ Lauren, editor and reviewer.
