Return to Balkonia

By Maureen McDermott

Rosamund and Naomi's dream of returning home to Balkonia turns into a nightmare when they're captured by Norsemen intent on ransom. Forced into an unlikely partnership by their shared struggle for survival, they find strength in each other and in a wild wolf cub they rescue from the wilderness.

But when a Balkonian rescue party arrives, the girls' hopes of freedom are quickly dashed. Instead, they find themselves the unwilling guests of a mysterious and ancient people - the Taulks. Trapped in their cave-dwelling world, Rosamund and Naomi must uncover long-forgotten secrets and face dangers beyond their wildest imaginings.

A gripping tale of adventure, survival and the power of unexpected friendships, Return to Balkonia is an unforgettable journey that shows the greatest challenges often lead to the most profound transformations
