About This Book
"The Moon of Gomrath" is a classic fantasy adventure, a sequel to "The Weirdstone of Brisingamen," that plunges siblings Colin and Susan into a perilous world of ancient magic and dark forces.

The story explores themes of good versus evil, sibling love, bravery, and the power of ancient myths. While intense with scenes of possession and battles, it offers a rich, immersive experience for readers aged 8-11, and is an excellent read-aloud for slightly younger children who enjoy epic fantasy.
With the help of the wizard Cadellin, Colin and Susan struggle to contain the forces of evil unleashed by the inadvertent awakening of the band of ancient horsemen known as the Wild Hunt. Sequel to "The weirdstone of Brisingamen."
