Surins Revenge ebook | John Houghton | 9781907395215

War is brewing in Kraan.

Zarbid, the sorcerer, urges king Surin to attack Oswain’s peace-loving realms. Only the Ice Maiden with her special powers can save them, but she is already in Zarbid’s clutches.

Aided by Joshua, Sophie and Andrew – and their talking dog, Tatters – Oswain sets out on a perilous mission to rescue the Ice Maiden. Travelling in disguise, they enter the dangerous city of Traun with its sinister idols and vicious secret police. They join forces with a band of escaped slaves hiding in a volcanic crater, but nobody is safe.

In a tense, action-packed race against time Oswain and his companions wrestle with Surin’s dark forces as his army marches to attack … but nobody is prepared for the dramatic outcome.
