This fourth book in Brandon Mull's 'Five Kingdoms' series plunges Cole into his most perilous adventure yet. He must navigate Necronum, a haunting kingdom where the living and dead are indistinguishable, and venture into the echolands, a realm for the departed. With his powers diminished, Cole's courage and instincts are tested as he races against time to rescue his friends from formidable enemies and secret, dangerous pacts. Ideal for middle-grade readers aged 10-14 who enjoy epic fantasy and high-stakes adventure, this installment continues to build a rich, imaginative world while emphasizing themes of bravery and loyalty.
Cole is about to face his biggest peril yet. Since arriving in the Outskirts, Cole and his friends have fought monsters, challenged knights, and battled rampaging robots. But none of that has prepared them for Necronum. In this haunting kingdom, it’s hard to tell the living from the dead, and secret pacts carry terrifying risks. Within Necronum lies the echolands, a waystation for the departed where the living seldom venture. Still separated from his power, Cole must cross to the echolands and rely on his instincts to help rescue his friends. With enemies closing in, Cole risks losing everything to find the one thing that might save them. ---------- **Books in this series** 1. [Sky Raiders][1] 2. [The Rogue Knight][2] 3.
