Middle Grade
Legends speak of myth and magic passed down through folklore – but not all threats come cloaked in spells.
After a long journey, the heroes return – older, wiser, and hoping for peace. But peace is shattered when Uncle Julius reappears. He has no magic, no enchanted staff, no ancient curse. Just a voice as smooth as silk and a smile that hides a thousand lies.
With nothing but his words, Julius can twist the truth, turn friends into foes, and bend even the kindest creatures to his will. Now, he’s spreading his influence across the land, determined to control every living being – and to erase the name Tobler from the world forever.
As ancient stories awaken and strange forces stir, the heroes must face their most dangerous challenge yet: a battle not of strength, but of trust, courage, and the power to resist a villain who doesn’t need magic to conquer everything.
Can they stop him before the name Tobler – and everything it stands for – is lost forever?
Here's what readers have to say about this book....
Was lucky enough to buy a pre release from the authors stall at a winter market. Bran White Raven moves the story on at break neck speed and introduces some exciting new characters, such as Bog Witch (dont mess with her), Aura and Gordayah the sage which creates a mythical element. The Set pieces such as the Generals last hurrah are very filmic in style and you can imagine it all playing out on sscreen. Lots of moral lessons and moving speeches which are a lovely for children and young adults. There's even a comedy scene with the Hoglets...'strike one'!! Highly recommend that when reading along with children you look at the website too as it helps bring it all to life. Looking forward to the continuing story.
