In the sequel to the acclaimed middle-grade series, Imogen and Miro confront new challenges as they attempt to rescue Marie from Anneshka's grasp in Beyond the Mountains.
In Beyond the Mountains, the adventure continues as Imogen and Marie step through the magical door in the tree, returning to the enchanting world of Yaroslav. This time, they discover that Miro, now the reluctant king, grapples with the burdens of his new role, while Anneshka, stripped of her queenly status, is consumed by her desire for power. The dynamics of their relationships have shifted, setting the stage for an exhilarating journey ahead.
The plot thickens when Anneshka learns of a prophecy that suggests she will rule the Greatest Kingdom. In her quest for power, she seizes Marie, believing her to be the key to fulfilling the prophecy, and sets off over the mountains. Imogen and Miro, determined to rescue Marie, embark on a perilous chase that leads them into uncharted territories filled with unexpected dangers and challenges.
As they venture beyond the mountains, the trio encounters a host of new characters and formidable foes, forcing them to confront not only external threats but also their own fears and insecurities. With stunning illustrations by Chris Riddell, Beyond the Mountains captivates readers with its blend of humor, excitement, and timeless fantasy, solidifying its place in the beloved Clock of Stars trilogy.
