“Everything here hates you. The trees long to consume you, the ground to swallow you, the plants to poison you, and as for the creatures who live here… Your only chance of survival is to do exactly as I say. Clear?” Twins Cathy and Alan are thrilled to be asked by the king of the Diamonds to enter the Great Forest on their eleventh birthday to complete the cleansing of the land. After all, Queen Rose is dead and all darkness gone from the trees. But when their home is attacked by a horde of vicious boars, and Alan and Cathy unwillingly taken to the Great Forest, the twins realise that evil remains there. Now they are faced with a terrible escape from their captors and take their chances at survival, or find out who is waiting for them in the centre of the forest, and why? Cathy and Alan are about to face the deadliest battle of their lives, against the forest, the monsters, … and each other. The exciting conclusion to The Lucky Diamond trilogy
