Free Lance and the Lake of Skulls

The first in a trilogy of hilarious fantastical adventures about a mercenary knight from the bestselling duo behind The Edge Chronicles, Paul Stewart and current UK Children’s Laurate Chris Riddell.

Free Lance has no master – he journeys from village to village and castle to castle, competing in tournaments and working for his keep. When his horse throws a shoe and he must seek shelter overnight in Lord Big Nose's village, he accepts his most dangerous mission yet – retrieving an enchanted crown from the Lake of Skulls. Particularly suitable for struggling, reluctant and dyslexic readers aged 8+
