About this book
The first two tasks are complete and the battle to rule the kingdom continues. The warriors who have made it to the final challenge are trapped within the castle under the control of the evil sorceress Niope. As the competition will not end until one of them is crowned chief, each of the warriors must decide whether they will resist or succumb to the great power offered by Niope. The competitors find their integrity, strength and cunning tested as they determine how far they are willing to go to win.
Whilst the battle of the competition rages, Eloise and Artur try to find a way to help their friends who are still engaged in the final task. To do this, they must sneak through the castle and discover the true source of Niope’s magic.
In this epic conclusion to the Curse of the Chosen series, the deeper exploration of death magic brings with it a darker mood. The suspenseful plot and shrewd characters will keep readers on the edge of their seat, while the intricate illustrations ensure there’s plenty to see in each frame. This edgy and immersive graphic novel will appeal to readers looking for a rich, fantasy story.
