Praise for Midnight Treasure: ‘Stop the hunt for your next epic read because this is a treasure of a fantasy book. High stakes, big heart, frightfully good’ A.F. Steadman, author of the Skandar series
In a world of vampirs and werwolves, Tibor and Roza are heirs to the throne. They’re the only people alive who can defeat the vampir emperor, the White Prince.
If only they could agree on how.
Join them on their epic treasure hunt for the long-lost Wolf Crown. Can they outwit the White Prince’s spies, dragons and werwolves – before it’s too late?
From the award-winning Piers Torday comes this spectacular, irresistible treasure hunt: there will be clues, spells, imprisonments and escapes, fights, betrayals … but above all there will be courage and hope.
