The Fall of the Readers

Description

Alice has defeated her uncle Geryon and challenged the totalitarian rule of the Old Readers, but victory has only placed her in greater danger.

Betrayal, hidden identities, and dangerous magic test Alice’s courage as threats close in from both outside and within. With its resourceful heroine, imaginative creatures, and high-stakes adventure, this action-packed middle-grade fantasy explores freedom, loyalty, and the power of choosing one’s own story.
