Description

Kellen, a failed mage and outlaw spellslinger, travels to Gitabria, a land of wondrous contraptions, where a miraculous mechanical invention has been discovered. The invention draws spies from across the continent willing to kill for it, sweeping Kellen into a dangerous pursuit that threatens to spark a war. The discovery holds a dark secret that could change everything. Book #3 in the Spellslinger series.

Quick Summary

Kellen and Ferius travel to Gitabria, a fantastical land of clockwork marvels and cutthroat alchemists, where friendship and quick thinking are the only weapons that can stop a mechanical bird from sparking world war in this action-packed, laugh-out-loud funny adventure. Kids will devour the razor-sharp banter between Kellen and his pemmican-loving reformed arcanist companion, the constant sense that anything could go wrong at any moment, and the way the story balances genuine heart with high-stakes magical showdowns. If your kid loves the fast-paced magical mayhem of Bartimaeus Sequence or the clever humor of the Percy Jackson series, they'll absolutely devour this series. Perfect for middle graders (grades 5-8) who crave non-stop action and sharp wit.
