Four heroes, four quests, one mission: save the Summer Realm The Summer Realm’s Minister of Secrets and Lies, Ulysses Rasselas, fears things are spiralling out of control; the attacks on the coast are relentless, the army scattered, and he hasn’t heard from his agents in weeks, while the cockatrices grow ever bolder. Ash, the spy, was last seen stealing a Tatankamul and disappearing into the Saher accompanied by Councillor Cooperson’s son. But the desert without a guide is a death sentence; he only hopes Ash has an exit strategy. Tricky, the agent pulled from another world, has been spotted in High Vebren, no doubt on some kind of tree business. Reports that both she and the recluse, Wren, were seen conversing with Bathsheba, the Mage of Tane, makes Rasselas uneasy.

Four heroes, four quests, one mission: save the Summer Realm Cockatrice attacks are intensifying as the fate of the Summer Realm hangs in the balance. Ulysses Rasselas, Minister of Secrets & Lies, has limited contact with his agents, but he’s sure the rumours that Guardwinder Cleaveskull has been poisoned are incorrect; reliable reports tell him that the man’s elaborate winged-helmet has been seen on an old airship over the Saher desert. Councillor Cooperson is causing disruption as he searches for his runaway son, who, Rasselas’ spies inform him, is travelling with agent Ash. He only hopes the boy’s expensive education proves valuable in locating firebird seeds. Worryingly, the agent from another world, Tricky, is seeking assistance from Khymeia’s magical guild. Rasselas hopes it’s not related to the ‘Order of the Swarm’ he’s investigating. Surely, nobody intentionally opened a portal to let these creatures in? Definitely not Tricky, despite the whispers...

Book Three - When Things Get Tricky Cracked glass balls! Tricky didn’t think anything could top the risk of being killed by the network, but she was wrong. Tricky has managed to escape the network but she needs to reach the palace in Chestwick. She has to play a recording to The Baron; a recording Lucien Dufray discovered on her obsidian. It cost Lucien his life, and what it reveals might cost Tricky hers. On her way, the trees show Tricky a greater threat in the bunkers, not just to her but to the entire landmass. Destroying the network is imperative, and Tricky realises getting rid of Gandalf, aka Douglas Bottle, is the key. But Tricky’s no murderer (only an inadvertent one) and devises a plan, one which, with the help of the fickle fae collective, The Rabble, she hopes will work. Will The Baron support Tricky or blame her?...
