'Fresh and original, this is a gripping fantasy adventure packed full of the wild and wonderful . . . An absolutely extraordinary book. Magnificent.' - Liz Hyder
The first in a spectacular epic fantasy trilogy from award-winning author C. M. Lewis. Perfect for readers of 9−12 who love Skandar, Percy Jackson, and Cressida Cowell.
A world without children is a world dying for a hero. No babies have been born for twelve years. No one knows why.
Quill, a shy, ordinary, twelve-year-old boy, doesn't know the first thing about being a hero. But that changes the moment a mysterious young shapeshifter, in the form of a raven, opens his eyes to a world bursting with urgent magic and breathtaking danger. Quill must prepare for
- DRAGONS that guard the deepest secrets,
- A MONSTROUS HOUND hunting lost souls and
- A WATERHORSE of deadly beauty.
Everyone believes Quill is the last generation's only hope. But to save everyone, he must be ready to face the King of Darkness in battle, and claim the Light of the World before time runs out. First he needs to find the courage to fight.

Fresh and original . . . this is a gripping fantasy adventure packed full of the wild and wonderful, from horses conjured out of water to fierce dragons. Above all, though, it is so full of love. Woven through is a thread of loyalty and kindness and being brave on your own terms . . . An absolutely extraordinary book. Magnificent.
