Darkness Day

More about the book

Tizzie, Louis, and Misty the little blue mouse find themselves in dire straits at the end of the first book. In the sequel, we discover their fates amid the gathering Forces of Darkness outside Kernowland, where traitors plot against the King. New menacing characters emerge, including Wendron the witch and Warleggan the warlock, alongside familiar foes like Cap’n Pigleg and Melanchol Drym. The story also reveals the unfortunate fate of Dribble the dust dog when he encounters Mr. Drym. Erthwurld presents a vibrant world filled with adventure, featuring diverse lands such as Jungleland, Sandland, and Snowland. The narrative includes a rich cast of characters—villains, heroes, monsters, and magical beings—engaging in quests, ancient magic, and epic battles, leading to the ultimate challenge in the final book, Colosseum of Dread. Since the first book's release in September 2005, author Jack Trelawny has visited over 800 schools, sharing insights about the Kernowland stories and inspiring children to create their own narratives. He has signed more than 70,000 copies of the series, now available in ebook format.
