The third book of the Rook Saga, part of the bestselling Edge Chronicles

"Entertaining fantasy at its finest and, costed out per exciting incident, would prove exceptionally good value for money." TES "An exciting story with a big battle at the end and great illustrations." Irish Independent "The eagerly awaited conclusion to the Rook Barkwater stories ... The Edge Chronicles go from strength to strength." Junior News and Mail (Farnborough) "Four stars out of five! It's very readable." Cool-reads.com "The Edge series is mentioned in an article about essential books for all primary ages - These illustrated fantasy adventures appeal particularly to boys aged 7-10 and, because of their episodic structure, are marvellous for building reading stamina." TES
