V.M. Jones: Beyond the Shroud

Young readers will be delighted to see the return of Adam Equinox in another exciting fantasy adventure, which is Book 2 in the Karazan Quartet. This time Adam and his friends have a dangerous challenge ahead of them. They must return to the land of Karazan to find Hannah Quested.

To rescue Hannah from the clutches of the dreaded King Karazeel they undertake a perilous journey beyond the shroud of Shakesh, the hidden stronghold of this evil ruler.

Beyond the Shroud is a thrilling adventure that will particularly appeal to children who loved The Lord of the Rings movies but are not ready to read the epic.

The Serpents of Arakesh, the first book in this series, has been shortlisted for the New Zealand Post Book Awards for Children and Young Adults.
