Två ungdomar möts som av en händelse. Christopher som har ett hjärta på bristningsgränsen längtandes efter något mer, något annat, är på besök hos sin morfar i de skotska högländerna när han av en slump upptäcker en hemlig passage till Arkipelagen: ett kluster av vilda och undersköna öar där mytologiska varelser fortfarande lever och andas. Där träffar han Mal som med den grip hon räddat och med en mantel som kan få henne att flyga, men bara när vinden blåser, är på flykt undan en mördare. Tillsammans måste Mal och Christopher söka svaret på varför de magiska varelserna håller på att utplånas och rädda öriket och världen bortanför från en ondska som håller på att vakna.

Den förgiftade konungen
Inbunden, Svenska, 2025

Andra - och bättre! Jenny Lindh, DN
“Kom, och ta med draken: rättvisa måste skipas.”
Christopher Forrester vaknar av att en drake tuggar på hans ansikte - och han fylls av lycka. Han har drömt om att åka tillbaka till Arkipelagen - det hemliga klustret av öar där magiska varelser från myterna fortfarande lever, och här är hans kallelse! Men det sprids en ondska i Arkipelagen och att förinta den kommer att involvera ett vågat räddningsuppdrag på ryggen av en sfinx, hitta ingången till en drakhåla och en dödsföraktande plan för att rädda en fånge. I centrum av denna storm är Anya: en liten flicka med en flock fåglar vid sin sida, en nykläckt fågelunge i fickan och en glupande hunger efter rättvisa.
"Den förgiftade konungen" är den andra, efterlängtade (och fristående!) delen i Katherine Rundells hyllade och prisbelönade fantasyserie, med innehåll av drakar, slott och hämnd – de ting av vilka fantastiska berättelser skapas. Första boken "Omöjliga varelser" omskrivs redan som en klassiker och har vunnit flera litterära priser.

_______________Shortlisted for Waterstones Book of the Year _______________In difficult times, what children really need is hope. And in that spirit, bestselling author Katherine Rundell emailed some of the children's writers and artists whose work she loved most:'I asked them to write something very short, fiction or non-fiction, or draw something that would make the children reading it feel like possibility-ists: something that would make them laugh or wonder or snort or smile. The response was magnificent, which shouldn’t have surprised me, because children’s writers and illustrators are professional hunters of hope … I hope that the imagination can be a place of shelter for children and that The Book of Hopes might be useful in that, even if only a little.'This collection, packed with short stories, poems and pictures from the very best children’s authors and illustrators, aims to provide just that. Within its pages you'll find animal friends from insects to elephants, high-flying grandmas, a homesick sprite, the tooth fairy, and even extra-terrestrial life.There are 133 contributions from authors and illustrators, including Anthony Horowitz, Axel Scheffler, Catherine Johnson, Jacqueline Wilson, Katherine Rundell, Lauren Child, Michael Morpurgo and Onjali Q. Raúf. A donation from the sale of each book will go to NHS Charities Together, in gratitude for the incredible efforts of all those who worked in hospitals over the quarantine period._______________'An anthology on the theme of hope … it includes a rich range of images, poetry, stories and non-fiction' - Sunday Times, 'Stories to charm on endless days' Proceeds from this book will be donated to NHS Charities Together. In respect of UK sales, this will be £2.10 and in respect of sales in other territories this will be 16% of net receipts (at least 62p).NHS Charities Together is a charity registered in England and Wales (registered charity no. 1186569).

Napoleon had an orangutan called Rose, who ate turnips at the dinner table and stood when guests came into the room. She was much adored, but could not survive in Paris.A pig can be taught to differentiate between Bach and a brass band. One was once tried for murder: another saved a human's life. An owl can turn its head two hundred and seventy degrees. They can learn to come at a whistle, and remember the signal for years, if they wish to. The creatures who share our world are stranger, smarter and more miraculous than you would believe.In this delightful collection, Katherine Rundell celebrates twelve vanishing animals, each one a wonder that she inspires us to treasure and fight for with love - because, as she argues so beguilingly: 'The time to give up is never.'

Two kids race to save the world’s last magical place in the first book of a landmark new fantasy series, from “a writer with an utterly distinctive voice and a wild imagination.” (Philip Pullman, author of The Golden Compass)“An instant classic from one of the most gifted storytellers of our time, Impossible Creatures is an astonishing miracle of a book.” —Katherine Applegate, Newbery Medal Winner for The One and Only IvanThe day that Christopher saved a drowning baby griffin from a hidden lake would change his life forever.It’s the day he learned about the Archipelago—a cluster of unmapped islands where magical creatures of every kind have thrived for thousands of years, until now. And it’s the day he met Mal—a girl on the run, in desperate need of his help.Mal and Christopher embark on a wild adventure, racing from island to island, searching for someone who can explain why the magic is fading and why magical creatures are suddenly dying. They consult sphinxes, battle kraken, and negotiate with dragons. But the closer they get to the dark truth of what’s happening, the clearer it becomes: no one else can fix this. If the Archipelago is to be saved, Mal and Christopher will have to do it themselves.Katherine Rundell’s story crackles and roars with energy and delight. It is brought vividly to life with more than 60 illustrations, including a map and a bestiary of magical creatures.
