Book Synopsis

A stunning epic fantasy adventure. Inspired by Welsh mythology. Infused with folklore and magic.

This exceptional paperback fantasy series by award-winning author C. M. Lewis is perfect for readers of 9-12.

No babies have been born for twelve years. No one knows why.

Everything changes the day twelve-year-old Quill meets a young shapeshifter in the form of a raven. She opens his eyes to a world of myth and magic filled with strange creatures, epic battles, dragons, lost souls, a monstrous hound and a beautiful but dangerous horse made of water.

Everyone believes that Quill is the hero they’ve been waiting for. But first he must face self-doubt and find the strength and skill to battle the King of Darkness if he is to claim the Light of the World before it’s too late.

Our Review Panel says...

Imagine living in a world of permanent winter – summer has gone and nothing will bring it back. Main character Quill was named so because people used to write with feathers called Quills and his family knew that he would go on to write his own story. You can’t give in to ‘darkness and despair’, which is what Quill wanted to do time after time – he didn’t feel strong enough or worthy enough. Just when he thought the Light of the World was within his grasp, it soon vanished, leaving him to come face to face with the man who murdered his father and kept his mother hidden from him. How will he end this fight? Who will stand by his side on the battlefield? Can he really bring back the summer? This story is the start of something special and will have readers awaiting the next in the series.
