The Second Siege: Book Two of the Tapestry

By Henry H. Neff

Book Overview

A fast-paced, genre-blending adventure--now in paperback!

The Tapestry series continues to weave threads of fantasy, mythology, science fiction, and mystery into a wholly original adventure that appeals to fans of everything from Harry Potter to Lord of the Rings to The X-Men. Genre-blending and fully illustrated, The Tapestry novels have caught the attention of middle-grade and young adult readers alike--and the series is only getting bigger.

In this second book of the series, grave forces are converging to seize control of the Book of Thoth, a hidden artifact whose pages hold the key to creating--or unraveling--the very threads of existence. Max McDaniels and David Menlo embark on a quest to protect the book from the demon Astaroth, who would exploit its secrets with dire consequence. And with Astaroth free after centuries of imprisonment, the world outside Rowan's gates has already become hostile.

Far from home, cut off behind enemy lines, Max and his allies must journey across Europe, descend into the fabled Frankfurt Workshop, brave the tangled corners of the Black Forest . . . and cross beyond the veils of our very world.

"After devouring this title, young fans will be clamoring for more."--Kirkus Reviews

Customer Reviews

Henry keeps doing it

I can't believe how much fun it is to see this story play out in such powerfully written detail. I am over halfway through it and was as surprised as Max was with this adventure. Henry really knows how to grab and keep his audience in suspense. It is interesting to have the images of the characters develop in my mind and to turn the page and see them from the author's point of view.
