The first story in an action-packed fantasy trilogy, perfect for fans of Dungeons and Dragons aged 9+ Time is running out. When crops fail and a new plague spreads across the land of Osha, Tariq has a troubling vision - an ancient prophesy is coming true. He travels to the capital city of Ethrial to warn the leaders of an impending flood, but no one listens. It's up to the seer and his new friends, an elf scientist and a dwarf soldier, to take matters into their own hands. Venturing off on an epic quest, the unlikely trio must find a magical moonstone and use its powers to prevent a tidal wave from wiping out the city. But they aren't the only ones seeking to find the moonstone . . . and not everyone wants to use its ancient powers to save Ethrial . . . This pacy adventure blends themes of classic fantasy, Indian mythology, climate emergency and steampunk imagery to create a richly imagined world.

Rick Riordan did it for Greece. Now Sarwat Chadda does it for India... Book three in the incredible action-adventure trilogy about Ash Mistry, reluctant hero and living weapon of the death goddess Kali. Ash Mistry is in a world of pain. A parallel world in fact, where another version of him seems to be living his life, and the evil Lord Savage - now all-powerful and adored by the nation - is about to carry out a terrible plan. Worse still, Ash's superpowers, invested in him by the Death Goddess Kali, seem no longer to be working. Without Kali, can Ash defeat Savage and save the world?
