A newcomer’s power in a city of rival guilds

Albion is governed by a puppet queen while Lord Cromwell secretly holds control, and six Guilds compete for power amid strange magic. Jed Greenleaf arrives in the struggling Leaf Guild with an unusual ability: he can transform into a half-tree, his body covered in bark. The Punchbowl tournament gives the Guild a chance to contend, but Jed first has to learn to use his power. The premise brings together a contest for influence, a threatened community and a young hero’s emerging abilities. Full-page illustrations by David Wyatt accompany the fantasy adventure.

Book overview

Skin of bark, soul of a hero...an astonishing adventure from the bestselling author of The World of Podkin One-Ear.

 

Albion city is governed by a puppet queen, secretly controlled by Lord Cromwell, and strange magic is afoot as six Guilds all compete to rule it. Although the Leaf Guild is the weakest, no one has reckoned with newcomer Jed Greenleaf's extraordinary ability to transform into a half-tree, covered over with bark...he just needs to learn how to harness that power.

Could he be the hero that the Guild needs to win at the Punchbowl tournament? It just might be that this year Jed can turn over a new leaf in the history books, and bring glory to the decaying Guild and peace to Albion...

 

Beautifully illustrated with full page artwork by leading fantasy illustrator David Wyatt.
