The eighth and final book in The Children of the Red King series ends predictably and satisfyingly. The Bloors and Charlie Bone are searching for a box containing a hidden will and the true heirs of the fortune. The Bloors and their evil dominions are tightening their hold on the city. Meanwhile a mysterious Red Knight has been aiding and defending the children of the Red King. Charlie and his friends must prepare for a final battle between good and evil.

Fantasy fans, particularly those of Harry Potter will appreciate this imaginative British series. Essential purchase if you have the rest of the series, otherwise advisable.
