Description:
Book 3 of the Darkwoods Series! Treachery and Betrayal! Barely had the
hard-fought battle against the Foxes of Darkwoods finished when a new
evil began to grow-- an evil that would stretch from the royal Wraith
Mouse city of Arashna all the way to the tiny village of Graystone.
Dangerous river otter warriors kidnap two young mice and will only
release them if Graystone gives up a mysterious wounded mouse sheltering
behind their walls. When the mice at Graystone refuse and instead
attack in a desperate attempt to free the hostages, the renegades flee
north to collect the promised bounty for the wounded mouse, and to sell
the Graystone mice and their sea otter allies into slavery. Hope for
rescue depends on three young creatures who race against all odds to
save their family and friends from the clutches of a new king -- a king
who has turned against his own family in his greed to rule and grasp
power. Shy and bookish, Miamuran Princess Nurida must overcome her fears
and brave unknown dangers in the wild if she is to save her older
sister. Nathan el of the Cliff Mice searches not only for his kidnapped
sister and her friend, but also for his vanished mother, who may have
stumbled across information for which powerful creatures would kill.
Conch, the son of a sea otter and an infamous river otter, struggles to
decide who he can trust to stand with his friends against the
approaching onslaught. Stahlfeld s riveting third installment of her
Darkwoods series vibrantly brings to life young creatures willing to
place themselves in danger to save others. As they find help in
unexpected places and discover their own strengths, they become the new
leaders in the ongoing fight for freedom.
