Description
Jack’s eventful summer in the quaint storybook town of Saint Galdramour isn’t over yet. While the grimalkins are busy defending their kingdom from the ever encroaching blight, Jack uncovers a lost treasure; the famed fortune of the renowned medieval alchemist Galdramour, and with it a formula said to turn things to gold. The right to this fortune immediately comes into question as interested parties from both the town of Saint Galdramour and the neighbouring town of Saint Gilbert stake their claim. Now Jack must delve into his family’s history to try to prove he has the rightful claim.
Meanwhile in Grimperloft, Grand Duke Soxington has arrived with promises of support and aid. But what he is asking for in return, the grimalkins may find too high a price to pay. The trolls are amassing an army. No one has seen Henry in days. People everywhere are going missing. The effects of weakening magic are taking its toll on both worlds as the evil miscreants of the Otherworld are beginning to gather in Saint Galdramour. It is now up to Belle, Finn and Jack to defend both their world and the realm of the fairies from a force of nature no one entirely understands.
As the summer comes to a close Jack fears his time with his Grandmother and his new friends is coming to an end far too abruptly. Jack knows he’ll miss them, some more than others, but the real question on his mind is will they miss him? Jack isn’t convinced, and time is running out.
