“Oh, cheer up,” said Lucy. “It’s simple really, we find the Emperor, help him stay alive until he’s ready to take the throne, get the key for changing lead into gold, and then it’s off to find your parents. What could go wrong?”
The Silk Road
In this fast paced middle grade novel, Lucy wants an adventure while Dee needs money to help him find his missing parents. When a flaming bird leads them to a hidden road, and the lord of stone offers them a quest, the opportunity for both arises. In a land full of magic, dragons, and demons, all they have to do is protect a young emperor from an unknown danger-which would be a lot easier if he wasn’t a royal pain and an angry queen didn’t want him dead.
With the entitled ruler in tow, Lucy & Dee must find a way home with only a mysterious feather and a dragon-whisperer (who looks suspiciously like a hedgehog) their only defences against capture and maybe even death.
Perfect for fans of Rick Riordan’s Aru Shah and the End of TIme, The Serpent’s Secret by Sayantani DasGupta and The Sand Warrior, by Mark Siegal
The adventure continues in The Caves of Wonder, a fantasy middle grade novel.
