The Perilous Realm: The Shadow of Malabron
By Thomas Wharton
One boy, a wolf and a perilous journey: a fantasy that weaves the fabric of well-loved stories into an epic adventure.
Long ago, Malabron the Night King tried to turn all stories into one -- his story, a nightmare of absolute power. But when Will, a rebellious teenager, stumbles from the present into the realm where stories come from, he is caught up in Malabron's evil designs. Aided by some of the story folk -- including the feisty Rowen, her grandfather Penrose (a loremaster) and Shade, the laconic but loyal wolf -- Will must combat a host of perils, if he is ever to find the gateless gate that will take him home.
- Part of the New Voices series of novels by exciting new writers.
- "The Shadow of Malabron" is the first in The Perilous Realms Trilogy.
- High Fantasy on a grand scale that pays homage to Tolkein in its sweeping invention.
