A New Hero

£6.99

13-year-old Richard ‘Trick’ Hope is used to getting into trouble, but not like this. After an argument with his dad about him hanging out with the wrong crowd, Trick is furious. He sees his friends that night, but they get into trouble with the police and are chased across London. Trick hides in the vaults of the British Museum, where the pendant he always wears – the only memory he has of his mother – starts to pull him in further. A blinding flash of blue light and then … He wakes up face down in sand. Sand? He’s on a beach. A figure in armour is racing towards him, ready to attack. He’s not in London anymore.

Description

Richard ‘Trick’ Hope is used to getting into trouble, but not like this. . .

On the run from bullies, Trick finds himself transported to the mystical Wildlands, a place where the greatest warriors throughout history have been summoned to fight in a battle for survival – from Romans and Vikings to Knights and Samurai!

A cryptic old man tells Trick that he’s there for a reason – to deliver the Wildlands from the evil Boneshaker, who rules with an army of terrifying minions. Trick has been chosen to form a band of the seven greatest warriors to defeat this terrible enemy.

As Trick begins his epic quest the stakes couldn’t be higher: defeat Boneshaker or never see home again.
