About the Book

Halfwind Citadel reels from the late grave betrayal, and Picket and Heather—alongside Helmer, Jo, and Fiona—struggle to recover the waning momentum of the prince’s cause. Our heroes follow clues and fight battles, as a terrifying new villain emerges from the midst of rabbitkind’s trusted leaders. The last confrontation with the crystal key conspirators threatens disaster in this thrilling conclusion to the Lost Tales trilogy.

  • “We have five kids ages 4-9, and we ALL (yes, including my wife & I) love this series. This book is no exception to that. C.S Lewis said that "A children's story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children's story in the slightest." This is a good story.”

  • “My children (6 of them, ages 7-19) hang on every word; they feel with the characters: they always beg for just one more chapter! We started The Green Ember series years ago when the first was available as a free kindle download, and we've been hooked ever since.”

  • “S.D. Smith has yet to disappoint. I raced ahead of where I'm at in reading it with my kids and finished...They are quirky, fun, light reads with those beautiful, deep ideas still floating all through them. We LOVE these books. They are the only current books we are always itching for the next one to come out.”
