reclaim everything he took from her. Opportunity arrives in the form of
her deceptive twin sister, Taryn, whose mortal life is in peril.
Jude must risk venturing back into the treacherous Faerie Court, and
confront her lingering feelings for Cardan, if she wishes to save her
sister. But Elfhame is not as she left it. War is brewing. As Jude
slips deep within enemy lines she becomes ensnared in the conflict's
bloody politics.
And, when a dormant yet powerful curse is unleashed, panic spreads
throughout the land, forcing her to choose between her ambition and her
humanity...

It was a very fine day, until something tried to eat him. A boy
called Christopher is visiting his reclusive grandfather when he
witnesses an avalanche of mythical creatures come tearing down the
hill. This is how Christopher learns that his grandfather is the
guardian of one of the ways between the non-magical world and a
place called the Archipelago, a cluster of magical islands where
all the creatures we tell of in myth live and breed and thrive
alongside humans. They have been protected from being discovered
for thousands of years; now, terrifyingly, the protection has worn
thin, and creatures are breaking through. Then a girl, Mal, appears
in Christopher’s world. She is in possession of a flying coat, is
being pursued by a killer and is herself in pursuit of a baby
griffin. Mal, Christopher and the griffin embark on an urgent quest
across the wild splendour of the Archipelago, where sphinxes hold
secrets and centaurs do murder, to find the truth – with
unimaginable consequences for both their worlds. Together the two
must face the problem of power, and of knowledge, and of what love
demands of us.

vriende word daar getreur oor die brandende sitvlakke! Saam met ‘n
groep kinders van Leliesvlei se hoerskool, en onder toesig van
meneer Basson, gaan Jasper die Wildtuin besoek. Maar op pad
daarheen - en nogal op ‘n steil bergpas en in gietende reen van ‘n
Laeveldse donderstorm - raak die bus waarmee hulle reis onklaar. En
lank nadat die donderstorm bedaar het, staan die logge ou rooi
gevaarte nog al die tyd langs die pad, te steeks om ‘n wiel te
verroer. Intussen begin dit reeds donker word en meneer Basson word
onrustig. Nou nie heeltemal met meneer Basson se toestemming nie,
besluit Jasper en sy drie maats dat hulle die wereld moet gaan
verken en kyk of hulle nie hulp kan kry nie. En ja werklik, voordat
hulle baie ver gevorder het, hoor hulle die gedreun van ‘n
vragmotor, wat hulle na ‘n afgesonderde plaashuis lei. Omhul deur
die waas van geheimsinnigheid, le die huis tussen die bosse, sonder
‘n lig of enige ander teken van lewe, behalwe die vragmotor wat
daar staan. Jasper se kort hare gaan staan nog regopper as
gewoonlik, maar hy besluit om deur te druk met sy ondersoek. Hy is
immers die leier van die Viermanskap. Maar hy moes liewer net daar
omgedraai en teruggestap het skoolbus toe. Dit sou beter gewees het
vir almal … Kom deel in die avonture van Jasper!
