In this Time Trigger adventure for 8-14 year olds (and those who still feel that young!) time travellers Alice Hemstock and Robert Davenport face a most dangerous quest. Despite homework and Nan's bacon rolls, Robert and Alice find themselves propelled into another thrilling adventure when a visit from a dead king in Essex awakens an ancient prophecy.
Only Robert and Alice have the power to grant the true king the throne, but kidnapping Vikings and treacherous Saxons will try to stop them. In the race towards the Battle of Hastings, the two young adventurers will need sports cars, text messaging and the help of Lady Godiva!
Spies are everywhere.
Exciting new time travelling powers are unveiled in this novel, along with humour and plenty of danger, even in the middle of history lessons at school!
Fans of The Keys of Rome and The Curse of Rocamadour will find a few familiar characters amid the new friends and chilling villains. Louise Dale once again tempts her young readers with her meticulously researched snippets of history, this time focusing on some of the most violent and turbulent years of the Dark Ages.
