★★★★★ - "even more action-packed and atmospheric than the first" - The Wood Between The Worlds

"utterly fascinating... a clear and obvious talent for writing" - The Short StoryTeller

In the endless jungles of Tyria, the Blackbird flies again.

Tal Wenlock and Max Odyn make a formidable team. The thief and the scholar have already unearthed one ancient scroll, filled with priceless knowledge and forgotten magic - and with it cured Tal's sister of her crippling illness.

But four more scrolls still lurk in long-forgotten tombs - and Tal and Max are determined to find them. Unfortunately, so is everyone else. Tal and Max will have to race the world's finest treasure-hunters across the deadly Boiling Seas, from the depths of the earth to the heights of the sky, if they want to win the glory - and the gold.

Thankfully, this time Tal and Max have help. Because Lily Wenlock is back on her feet - and she's not about to let her little brother have all the fun.

The jungle islands of Tyria hold secrets unimaginable - all the Blackbird and his friends have to do is find them first.
