Escape from Wolfhaven Castle
by Kate Forsyth (Author)
Wolfhaven Castle has been attacked by deadly enemies, and the lord and his people have been forced into slavery. Only four escape capture: Tom, trained to scrub pots, not fight; Elanor, the lord's daughter; Sebastian, a knight in training; and Quinn, the witch's apprentice. An ancient prophecy says that four sleeping warriors are hidden deep beneath the castle and that, with the help of a spell, they can be awoken to fight for Wolfhaven. The only problem is, the spell calls for seemingly impossible ingredients:
When the wolf lies down with the wolfhound
And the stones of the castle sing,
The sleeping heroes shall wake for the crown
And the bells of victory ring.
Griffin feather and unicorn’s horn,
Sea-serpent scale and dragon’s tooth.
Bring them together at first light of dawn,
And you shall see this spell’s truth.
Hunted by sinister bog-men, led by a knight with a helmet of boar tusks, Tom, Elanor, Sebastian and Quinn have only the last gifts of the Grand Teller to help them – an old flute that makes no sound, a wooden pendant of a dragon curled around amber, a moonstone ring, and a wooden talisman of an old man’s face with a beard of oak leaves.
