'This thrilling adventure has it all! A huge heart, a fantastic plot and an irresistible superhero. I was swept away into Jed Greenleaf's world of magical oak forests, dastardly villains and sparkling dryads. I adored it!' Jasbinder Bilan
Skin of bark, soul of a hero . . . an astonishing standalone adventure from the bestselling author of The World of Podkin One-Ear.
Albion city is governed by a puppet queen, secretly controlled by Lord Cromwell, and strange magic is afoot as six Guilds all compete to rule it. Although the Leaf Guild is the weakest, no one has reckoned with newcomer Jed Greenleaf's extraordinary ability to transform into a half-tree, covered over with bark . . . he just needs to learn how to harness that power.
Could he be the hero that the Guild needs to win at the Punchbowl tournament? It just might be that this year Jed can turn over a new leaf in the history books, and bring glory to the decaying Guild and peace to Albion . . .
Beautifully illustrated with full-page artwork by leading fantasy illustrator David Wyatt.
'Yet another page-turner. Kieran Larwood never disappoints and his fans will be queuing up the street to get their hands on this epic adventure.' David Long
