The Hunting of the Princes: The Queen of Dreams Trilogy 2
It had been a big year for Taggie Paganuzzi. From
learning that she was actually the Queen-to-be of a
magical realm, to fighting for her life against the King of
Night, there had been a lot of 'firsts'. And when someone
tried to assassinate her as she was cycling home from
the local pool in Stamford, England! It turns out that
someone has been killing royal heirs throughout the
magical kingdoms, and every leader from every realm
believes the King of Night's army, the Karraks, are
responsible. War seems inevitable. But Taggie has just
discovered that the Karraks come from a cold, dark
universe, and they cannot abide warmth and light... But
where do you begin to look for a gate which was
deliberately hidden centuries ago? To find out, Taggie
must rescue the one Karrak Lord who also hopes for
peace. Who happens to be imprisoned in an
impenetrable fortress...

Claire Fayers
Paul Stewart,Chris Riddell
Twelve-year-old Brine Seaborne is a girl with a past... if
only she could remember what it is. Found alone in a
rowboat as a child, clutching a shard of the rare starshell
needed for spell-casting, she's spent every day since
housekeeping for an irritable magician and his obnoxious
apprentice, Peter. But everything changes when Brine and
Peter accidentally break the magician's starshell and need
to flee the island. Lost at sea, they blunder into the path of
the legendary pirate ship the Onion. Before you can say
'pieces of eight,' they're up to their necks in the pirates'
quest to find Magical North, a place so shrouded in
secrets and myth that most people don't even think it
exists. If Brine is lucky, she may find out who her parents
are and why they sent her out to sea. And if she's unlucky,
everyone on the ship will be eaten by sea monsters. It
really could go either way.

Napoléon's terrifying new army. Deception and betrayal
threaten the mission from its outset, but the courage and
perseverance of Willem the "saur killer" and his friends

This riveting alt history introduces dinosaurs into a pivotal
moment in human history. Now the 1815 Battle of
Waterloo is something other than a crushing defeat for the
French emperor Napoléon Bonaparte, when he unleashes
a terrible secret weapon - giant carnivorous survivors from
pre-history - on his unsuspecting adversaries. In this
world, smaller "saurs" are an everyday danger in the
forests of Europe, and the Americas are a forbidden zone
roamed by the largest and most deadly animals ever to
walk the earth. But in his quest for power, Napoléon has
found a way to turn these dinosaurs into nineteenthcentury weapons of mass destruction. Only Willem, the
teenage son of a court magician who lives near the
battlefield, has the power to ruin the tyrant's plans. And
Napoléon will stop at nothing to find him.
