A stunning gift edition of the Sunday Times and Telegraph Children’s Book of the Year—the “action-packed” sequel to The Letter for the King (Daily Mail) Young Sir Tiuri searches for a missing knight in the perilous, magical forest of the Wild Wood—where discerning friend from foe is no easy task . . .
One of the King’s most trusted knights has vanished in the snow, so young Sir Tiuri and his best friend Piak must journey into the shadowy heart of the forest to find him. The Wild Wood is a place of mysteries, rumors and whispered tales. A place of lost cities, ancient curses, robbers, princesses, and Men in Green.
As the darkness surrounds him and reports grow of secret plots and ruthless enemies, Tiuri finds himself alone and fighting for survival—caught in a world where good and evil wear the same face, and the wrong move could cost him his life.
