'A pulse-quickening adventure strewn with rich seams of myth, magic and mystery' - Kiran Millwood Hargrave, author of The Girl of Ink and Stars

‘Quill is my new favourite hero. A thunderously good story’ - Emma Carroll, author of Letters from the Lighthouse
Quill and the Last Generation is the first in a spectacular epic fantasy trilogy from award-winning author C. M. Lewis. Perfect for readers of 9-12 who love Skandar, Percy Jackson, and Cressida Cowell.
A world without children is a world dying for a hero. No babies have been born for twelve years. No one knows why.
Quill, a shy, ordinary, twelve-year-old boy, doesn't know the first thing about being a hero. But that changes the moment a mysterious young shapeshifter, in the form of a raven, opens his eyes to a world bursting with urgent magic and breathtaking danger. Quill must prepare for
- DRAGONS that guard the deepest secrets,
- A MONSTROUS HOUND hunting lost souls and
- A WATER HORSE of deadly beauty.
Everyone believes Quill is the last generation's only hope. But to save everyone, he must be ready to face the King of Darkness in battle, and claim the Light of the World before time runs out. First he needs to find the courage to fight.
