The Poisoned King
When Christopher Forrester is jolted awake by a miniature dragon gnawing on his face, he knows he's needed back in the Archipelago—the secret islands where all creatures of myth still live and thrive. But this time, the danger is different. Dragons are dying under mysterious circumstances, and Christopher is the only human they will trust. What he doesn't expect is to be swept into a rescue mission involving Princess Anya Argen, a girl caught between her duty to the palace and her hunger for justice when her beloved father is wrongly accused of poisoning the king.
Joined by a sphinx, a flock of magical royal birds, and friends old and new, Christopher and Anya must venture deep into the wild splendour of the Archipelago to uncover the truth, save the dragons, and stop the true poisoner before it's too late. Katherine Rundell's second adventure is an intricately plotted tale brimming with humour, peril, friendship, and the kind of magic that feels like it's been waiting for you all along.
At 336 pages, The Poisoned King is the perfect follow-up for readers (ages 9+) who loved the first Impossible Creatures book—and for newcomers ready to discover a world where myth comes alive.
