Lily Starwhisper is back - and this might be her biggest adventure yet.
The Emerald Castle has been sleeping for forty years. It has been waiting for exactly the right person to wake it up.
When a glowing map appears in Lily Starwhisper's tower room pointing south toward a forest nobody has ever fully explored, she knows another adventure has found her. With Pebble - the tiny violet dragon who has strong opinions about kitchens - and Sol the Golden Dragon, Lily travels to the Emerald Reaches, the loudest, greenest, most opinionated realm in the Eight Realms.
The birds have a lot to say about it.
Deep inside a forest where the flowers hum, the trees remember everything, and every single bird has a different theory about what is wrong with the ancient castle at the forest's heart, Lily discovers something that changes everything she thought she understood about her adventure.
A library ten thousand years old. A book that shows her the truth about the Eight Realms. A key that must never fall into the wrong hands.
And a shadow that has been waiting in the library for exactly this moment.
The Secret of the Emerald Castle is the third book in the Lily Starwhisper and the Eight Realms series - the biggest adventure yet, full of talking birds, ancient owls in cracked spectacles, stone lions, hidden chambers, and the moment Lily finally understands what she is truly here to do.
Perfect for readers aged 5 -13 and families who love reading aloud together.
There is a difference between knowing something is wrong and understanding why someone chose it. Understanding is where the real answer lives. - Professor Cornelius Featherwing, Emeritus Scholar of the Eight Realms Institute (self-founded)
Eight realms to explore. Eight adventures waiting.
