The 3rd book in The Peck Chronicles... The odds are stacked heavily against James Peck and the wizard-goldfish Mendel. One year on from their extraordinary Denthan adventure, the zany villagers of Drumfintley find themselves the last line of defence against an invasion of Earth. The scale of the threat becomes clear when a whole new array of monsters and dark magic begins to emerge from Loch Echty's murky waters. Mendel suspects his oldest and greatest adversary - the Tyrant. Beneath the Loch, Mendel and James discover the submerged village of Fintley. Can its presence explain what is happening? They may not be around long enough to find out, as they are targeted by assassins. With the survival of humanity at stake, family ties and friendships are about to be tested to the limit in this epic new setting. So fast-paced that your heart will pound long after you turn the final page.
