After claiming the Singing Spear, Podkin heads to the sea to search out the last gift of all - the Anvil of Magmarok - which is hidden inside a mysterious labyrinth. He must brave Ancient sea monsters and pirates to arrive at the city that houses the anvil before Shramashank and his Gorm. But what will it take to defeat the labyrinth and win the anvil? And what will happen when the Gifts finally gather in one place? Another rip roaring adventure, exquisitely illustrated with full page artwork from the leading fantasy illustrator of our age, David Wyatt. Praise for the series: ''Larwood is forging a new path in classic tales.'' Kiran Millwood Hargrave ''Spellbinding.'' Guardian ''Storytelling perfection.'' Sophie Anderson ''Pure magic.''

Autorentext
Kieran Larwood was born in Kenya. He moved to the UK when he was two and lived in various places before settling on the Isle of Wight, where he can still be found: exploring rockpools, climbing trees and writing or drawing! He has done a wide range of jobs, including being an archery instructor and working the night shift in a cake factory (which was nowhere near as much fun as it sounds). He taught in a primary school for fifteen years before becoming a full-time author (and sometimes illustrator) of a series of novels that link across the Five Realms of Lanica. Kieran has won the Blue Peter Best Story and the Prix Sorcières. He is inspired by a life-long love of fantasy stories, which all began when - as a young boy - he picked up a copy of The Hobbit and saw the map inside. It just goes to show - you never know where opening a book will lead . . .David Wyatt is an illustrator living in Devon. He has illustrated many novels and is also much admired for his concept and character work. He has illustrated tales by well-known authors such as Diana Wynne Jones, Terry Pratchett, Philip Pullman, and J. R. R. Tolkien.
