Publisher's Summary
Solving the Secret of the Alchemist led Jake, Helen and her father Gerald to the discovery of the Stone of Sorrow and a spellbinding and shocking climax in the Underground Palace in Istanbul. Now blasted into beyond by those terrifying events, they each find themselves alone in a strange land with no clear memory of what has gone before.
As the fabric of reality begins to unravel and amazing events unfold, each must travel a lone path: yet all roads lead, it seems, to the City of Desolation, where the end-game is the cosmic struggle between Good and Evil.
This third and final part of The Fate of the Stone trilogy is a tale of high adventure, political intrigue, and enduring love.
Editorial reviews
The final installment of John Ward’s children’s fantasy trilogy, The Fate of the Stone, City of Desolation begins with protagonists Jake and Helen, and Helen’s father, lying in hospital beds.
In an unconscious dream state, Jake and Helen struggle to find each other and escape this purgatory. They are aided in their adventures by historical figures like Dante, Thomas Aquinas, and Virgil.
With a British accent, Colin Moody relates Jake and Helen’s adventures in this literate fantasy with a magisterial authority, taking special pleasure in voicing the novel’s real-life characters.
Critic Reviews
"A delightful mix of The Da Vinci Code, the Harry Potter series, and Nancy Drew adventures, this story has all the elements of a great mystery ... Colin Moody imparts the varied European accents with aplomb" (AudioFile Magazine)
