The
Poisoned Crown
(The third in the Sangreal trilogy)
Synopsis:
The third book of the Sangreal trilogy, the longest and easily
the best. Nathan has to find the lost crown on a planet covered
entirely by water, while contending with a malevolent sea-goddess,
assorted marine monsters, an imminent war between merfolk
and selkies, and a topless mermaid. On the home front his
mother acquires a boyfriend he doesn’t like and Hazel
broadens her knowledge of witchcraft by using pipe-cleaners.
Once he has obtained the crown, Nathan must learn the truth
about who his father is and become involved in the Great
Spell – a desperate attempt to save a dying universe
and the last remnants of its people. But the price of salvation
may be higher than he is prepared to pay…
