The Calamitous Queen

By Ian Irvine

Over a million copies of Ian Irvine's fantasy novels sold.

Queen Emajicka is marching on Grimmery with an army of a million Fey. Can things possibly get worse?

Yes, they can, for Ike is all alone. His best friend, Mellie, is away, attempting to pull off the perfect crime.

Lord Monty is at war with his reattached head. The beautiful sprite Mothooliel wants to steal Ike's eyeballs, and Grogire the firewyrm plans to kill him in the most disgusting way.

Can Pook and Ike free the Collected children? Will Ike discover the secret of the Gate Guardians and clear his parents' names in time to save Grimmery? Or will Spleen and Nuckl finally feast on Ike's innards?

Brace yourselves for a wild ride.
