Fableman

When a stranger arrives at the palace in the dead of night, carrying a priceless, magical artefact, Dalia and Charlie set off to find the fabled Four Watchmen who can help protect it. It couldn't have come at a worse time though, with the great house of Aelyndore opening its door to apprentices for the first time in decades and Charlie promising himself that he won't get into any more trouble this term. With time running out-literally, and deadly creatures breaching the magical barriers around the palace, Charlie and Dalia will face their greatest battle yet, not only for their own lives and for Aelyndore, but for the lives of every apprentice there. A humorous, charming and magical tale, Fableman and the Four Watchmen is a Middle-Grade Fantasy adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the epic conclusion.

People say that if Charlie Pratt had a penny for every blunder, he'd fill his pockets and then misplace his trousers. When Charlie tries to learn more about Dalia Addair, the peculiar girl who lives in the haunted manor on the edge of town, he accidentally slots himself into her magical trial-a trial that she has spent her whole life preparing for; he gets a day. But something's wrong; the trial is unleashing monsters that haven't been seen for centuries, and powerful forces are determined to stop them at any cost. Without knowing whom they can trust, Dalia and Charlie must work together to survive, and finish the trials, if they don't strangle each other first. Quirky, fast-paced, and brimming with action, Fableman is a middle-grade fantasy adventure that proves how even the most unlikely of heroes will step forward... when there's a ten-foot troll screaming after him.
