After stealing a powerful book—said to house the soul of the ancient witch Morgana—Hanna Lyons is tasked with the capture of the very man she took it from. In a race against time, she must discover the identity of the elusive Pied Piper, and find a way to destroy the book before catastrophe unfolds. As Hanna grapples with her inner demons, and discovers the truth of her own identity, she must learn to accept that sometimes the lines between good and evil aren’t always as black and white as they seem.

Their impassioned search for truths amid the secret places and half-forgotten legends of the British countryside, must ultimately transform them - and all our understandings of the origins of Arthur.

To graduate to the next level at the Knights Academy, they must complete three quests proving their heroism. If they fail, they’ll have to achieve the dreaded Impossible Quest, and repeat the same year forever.

La maison Greyjoy tremble sur ses fondations depuis la mort on ne peut moins naturelle de son dirigeant, Balon, roi auto-proclamé des îles de Fer. Les prétendants à sa succession sont nombreux, mais la parole du dieu Noyé, relayée par la voix du prophète Aeron Tifs-Trempes, s’est élevée sans équivoque : il faut tenir des états généraux de la royauté en présence de tous les vassaux. Cependant, tous gardent à l’esprit que les derniers en date, quelque deux mille ans plus tôt, se sont terminés dans un bain de sang.

Les têtes de nains tranchées ont beau s'accumuler sur le parvis de Castral-Roc, celle de Tyrion, meurtrier présumé de Tywin Lannister, son père, semble toujours solidement juchée sur ses deux épaules. Sa sœur Cersei, désormais régente, ne sait plus qui elle doit haïr le plus : lui ou la petite reine, Margaery, intrigante de basse-cour qui est parvenue à lui ravir le cœur du futur roi, son fils. Ses manœuvres ont beau être cousues de fil blanc, son joli minois et ses nombreux alliés font d'elle une rivale avec qui il faut compter. Pour autant, Cersei a encore quelques vilains tours dans son sac : ce n'est pas aux vieilles lionnes que l'on apprend à mordre.

With her father vanished under suspicious circumstances and her old life destroyed, Tessa Andrews is determined to pick up the pieces and forge ahead. If only their borrowed house didn't shake and rumble as if haunted. But at least she and her mom have a roof over their heads, so her luck couldn't be all bad, could it?

She dashes over, only to find the house in flames and the professor gone.

King Arthur's sitting on the British throne, but not everyone's buying the whole “Once and Future King" schtick. Apparently, what he needs to shut up the doubters is the Dark Blade. You know, the one. Massive sword that is oddly stuck in a rock, guarded by a soggy woman handing out weaponry like it’s the prize in a raffle. (Seriously, who came up with this system?) Enter me—baby Cultivator, reluctant hero, and professional screw-up. Now I’m stuck leading yet another merry band of misfits, this time into the Land of the Fae.

Lance has finally gained his freedom to join his beloved king. It is the depth of a northern winter, but his heart and his blood are warm with joy as he sets off to the fort of Din Guardi on the coast, where Arthur is locked in negotiation with the ancient powers of the realm - warlords who could help him defend the whole country against the Saxon invaders, if only he can unite them. But Lance knows such unity may not be possible - or even for the ultimate good of the kingdom.

And to become a Crusader, with all the questions of might and right involved. Just as he so brilliantly did in The Seeing Stone, Kevin Crossley-Holland weaves Arthurian legend with everyday medieval life in the story of one hero's coming of age.

For hundreds of years Kay and his fellow knights of the round table have been woken from their long slumber whenever Britain had need of them; they fought at Agincourt and at the Somme.

Kay just wants to go back to sleep. And Kay is not the only ancient thing to come crawling up out of the ground; Lancelot is back as well, with orders to track down Kay and stop him from doing anything stupid.
