UCLan publishing
With the evil ghasts defeated and the Source purified, Callen is eagerly embracing his Guardian training with his gargoyle, Zariel. As a novice though, he still has a great deal to learn and when Oculus (the organisation that oversees all the magical Sources) learns that Callen has been made a Guardian, they send a Watcher to assess his skills. Callen is only too aware that if he fails, he risks losing both his new home and his gargoyle. However with ghosts prowling, a missing kelpie to find and tainted magic spreading beyond Gargoyles Rest, Callen’s courage, friendships and his resourcefulness will all be put to the test. However the Watcher has decided that Callen is worth training and stays on to help him and his friends.
Who will Callen trust and when faced with choosing between defending the Source and protecting his friends, what will he do? The choices he faces will push him to his very limits for he cannot bear to see any creature suffer. Teamwork and loyalty area key factors for Callen when it comes to finding the right path.
With it’s fast-paced action and dangers aplenty, Tamsin Mori’s wonderfully imagined, multi-layered second Gargoyles adventure is totally gripping and packed with magical realism. Don’t miss this one.
