About This Book
The sharp clang of goblin armor echoes through the cold stone halls, mingling with the faint scent of ancient magic. Christopher and Molly's hands tremble as they push open the castle door, stepping into a world where danger and wonder collide. The fate of two kingdoms hangs in the balance, and every heartbeat pulses with the thrill of the unknown.
