Heart-stopping fantasy from the twice Costa-shortlisted and
critically acclaimed author of the bestselling The Midnight
Guardians. Step into a world of faerie tricks and hidden danger...
When an evil faerie steals Yanni's baby sister and swaps her for a
changeling, Yanni is swept into a dangerous race against time to
get her back. For faeries delight in tricks and rescuing her won't
be easy. With the help of his cousin, Amy, and the reluctant
changeling, Yanni must travel to goblin palaces and battle-swept
oceans, discovering ancient treasures and secrets along the way.
Yanni will need every drop of courage and even a few tricks of his
own, if he's to outwit the faerie and save his sister... Ross
Montgomery brings the magical world of British folklore to life in
this contemporary fantasy novel. Bursting with Ross's trademark
charm, humour and heart, and with echoes of David Bowie's
Labyrinth, The Chime Seekers is perfect reading for fans of Emma
Carroll, Piers Torday and David Solomons. PRAISE FOR THE CHIME
