Description

An epic adventure of daring, legend and legacy begins below the floorboards of Camelot.Below the carpets and flagstones of Camelot lies a secret world much like Arthur's royal court. Lord Yvers Christopher leads the castle creatures with a steady paw, upholds a tenuous truce with the animals of the Darkling Woods and guards the world's greatest treasure: the Holy Grail. Unknown to the knights above, the mice of the round table strive to ensure the safety of all who live within the castle walls, human and otherwise. So when Yvers is assassinated, the whole of Camelot is at risk. His grandson Calib Christopher must follow in his pawsteps but does the young mouse have the strength and power to lead his people and unite with the Darklings against the evil that threatens them all? A rich, fun fantastical new series from new talent Julie Leung.

JULIE LEUNG was raised in the sleepy suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia, though it may be more accurate to say she grew up in Oz and came of age in Middle-earth. By day, she is the social media and digital marketing manager for Quirk Books - tweeting up a storm and surfing the blog waves. She is also the mother of FictionToFashion.com, where she interprets her favourite books into outfits. In her free time, she enjoys furtively sniffing books at used bookstores and winning at obscure board games. Her favourite mode of transportation is the library. You can find Julie on Twitter, Instagram, Goodreads and via her website jleungbooks.com.

The book is amazing. From the first page to the last I enjoyed it. My favourite characters were Leftie the Lynx and Howell. I liked Leftie as he was a bit different - he was a bit magical and a survivor. I liked Howell as he was also known as Merlin the Wizard - Howell just had a magical warmth to him. The next book comes out in October - I am really looking forward to it coming out and will definitely buy it with some of my pocket money. Well done Julie Leung! * Mumsnet son, aged 11 *
