A breathtaking fantasy world from the award-winning author of The Last Wild. In this spellbinding follow-up to Midnight Treasure, adventure with Tibor and Roza into an empire of vampirs and werwolves. For readers who loved Katherine Rundell's Impossible Creatures or S.F. Said's Tyger.

Praise for Midnight Treasure: 'Stop the hunt for your next epic read because this is a treasure of a fantasy book. High stakes, big heart, frightfully good' A.F. Steadman, author of the Skandar series.

If you could destroy all the vampirs in the world just like that... would you?

Tibor and Roza are heirs to the throne, in a world of vampirs and werwolves. They've found a magical treasure with incredible powers... and with it, they are the only people alive who can defeat the emperor of vampirs, the White Prince.

If only they could agree on how.

But to reclaim the vampir's throne, they must first find the long-lost Wolf Crown before he does. Can they outwit his spies, dragons, and werwolves in time? And decide who gets to wear... the Wolf Crown?

From the award-winning Piers Torday comes this spectacular, irresistible treasure hunt: there will be clues, spells, imprisonments and escapes, fights, betrayals... but above all there will be courage and hope.
