An underground trap. A magic gift, waning. Death, waiting in the wings.
Arthur, Maude and twenty-four children are trapped beneath the earth when the portal to their underground home is destroyed by one of the king's men. Now they face certain death, though death is what they hoped to avoid in hiding where no eye could see them. There is no way out, for the children's magic has steadily faded, because they are hungry and thirsty and most of all tired. Yes, most of all tired.
But one of the girls has a plan. And while she hatches her plan, the people of Fairendale make plans of their own, even as the king's own son, who misses the missing children, vows to save the friends he lost, the friends for whom the king searches, the friends who could very well, even now, be lost forever. But his plan may cost him his life. Is a prince willing to sacrifice his life? Perhaps. Or perhaps this is another's decision entirely.
The Perilous Crossing is the third book in the Fairendale series, a magical middle grade series that explores the world of fairy tales, dragons, wizards, and other magical creatures. The world of Fairendale revolves around villains and heroes—all on a quest for what they believe is right. But one cannot always know, at first glance, who is the villain and who is the hero. Throughout the series, the story of King Willis and his determination to keep the throne is woven into the story of his son, Prince Virgil, heir to the throne and friend to the village children, and the story of fairy tale children fleeing for their lives—children who become what we know as fairy tale villains, for one good reason or another.
But, remember, one cannot always know, at first glance, who is the villain and who is the hero.
