Waking the Warriors

When the world ends, only the underground mysteries will save us...

A great wall is rising on the horizon and a foreign army is massing on the borders of the small country of Nevereach. As invaders prepare to smash the last of the resistance, three unlikely heroes emerge from the exhausted populace.

Mel, Rosa and Apibus, driven by the loss of loved ones, inspired by old stories and guided by a mysterious star, set out to save their world by rousing the sleeping warriors. But before they can do that, they must find the witch who alone knows how to wake these mythical figures.

Travelling across a perilous landscape, encountering challenge after challenge, this could be called a cautionary tale for the three, and the reader, but it's more than that - it's a journey, a revelation and an inspiration.

Brilliantly conjured from the unique imagination of the poet, novelist, and activist Ben Okri, you will find inside these pages a world where the greatest enemy is not the tyrant forcing his soldiers on, but the dark forces draining people's will to resist.

Features stunning interior illustrations.
