Protectors of the Flame

“Ending in a lighthouse, the book is a rollicking good read for children over nine” Sue Leonard, The Irish Examiner.

The Black Viper Gang want to possess the secret of Platinum Fire. If they find it they will gain unimaginable power. But who is the mastermind behind this gang? Simon and Kerry Macken must protect the secret of the flame. How will they make it from the remote Grimhall Fortress to the Land of Fire?

The Ark of Dun Ruah transports the reader across high seas and perilous lands on another exciting quest, filled with intriguing characters, trusted eagles and encounters with the enigmatic prophet Malachy.
