The Calamitous Queen
Rreth këtij libri elektronik
It’s not easy to be a hero when your bum is the size of an airship and you’re bobbing around the ceiling, mocked by angry dwarves.
Queen Emajicka is marching on Grimmery with an army of a million Fey. Can things possibly get worse?
Yes, they can, for Ike is all alone. His best friend, Mellie, is away, attempting to pull off the perfect crime.
Lord Monty is at war with his reattached head. The beautiful sprite Mothooliel wants to steal Ike’s eyeballs, and Grogire the firewyrm plans to kill him in the most disgusting way.
Can Pook and Ike free the Collected children? Will Ike discover the secret of the Gate Guardians and clear his parents’ names in time to save Grimmery? Or will Spleen and Nuckl finally feast on Ike’s innards?
Brace yourselves for a wild ride.
