The Hawthorn Tree

By Bruce Grantford

THE RHYMER KING TRILOGY - BOOK ONE - THE HAWTHORN TREE What if all those rhymes you were told as a child were real? What if they all lived in a world different to your own? And what if you were one of them and didn't even know it... ...and had to save them all? Terry is a teenage orphan, having lost both his parents and grandmother in two separate fires as he was growing up. But he discovers that these tragedies may be more than a coincidence when he too is caught in a blazing inferno - and finds himself magically transported into an amazing world in which old nursery rhymes have come to bizarre, breathtaking and often frightening life. Learning that he is regarded as a Rhymer, Terry also discovers that the legends of this rhyming world have prophesied that he must rescue the world's most sacred object - the Hawthorn Tree - from corruption by a malevolent being called the Duke of Despair. In order to do this, he must battle his way through a series of dangerous riddles, horrors and challenges, discovering more about his true identity as he does so, before eventually facing up to the terrifying Duke of Despair himself. "An epic fantasy adventure set in a spectacular rhyming world for young-at-heart readers of all ages."
