About this ebook
In the epic conclusion of the Secret Country trilogy, adventure awaits as five impostors turned royal figures are summoned once again to face their ultimate challenge.
“Captures, as almost no other book on games-coming-true has captured, the real magic of making stuff up, of running scenes and characters that stretch your idea of who and what you might grow up to be.”—Delia Sherman, author of The Porcelain Dove
“Exciting, funny, moving, uplifting.”—Emma Bull, author of War for the Oaks
Who is behind all of the Secret Country’s tension and teachery?
There are three things that have the power to destroy the Secret Country: the Border Magic, the Crystal of Earth, and the whim of the dragon. Ted, Laura, Ruth, Patrick, and Ellen have faced the first and second; now, summoned back to the Secret Country, they are up against the third. The Country’s most trusted counselors now know that the five are impostors, somehow thrust into the roles of royalty. But no one knows who has been playing with their destinies, and that of the Secret Country—so they must find and speak with Chryse, the unicorn, and Belaparthalion, the dragon, in order to bring the truth to light once and for all. As with everything in the Country, this is both more complex and dangerous than it seems . . .
