Charlie Bone and the Red Knight

Начало книги

The Red King arrived in the North nine hundred years ago. He was an African magician and each of his ten children inherited a small part of his power.

These powers were passed down, through their descendants, to the current inhabitants of an ancient city. But not all the inheritors use their powers wisely. Some of them are bent on evil, and Charlie Bone strives constantly to thwart them.

Charlie's parents are on their second honeymoon. They have been away for more than a month. Postcards arrive for Charlie, describing his parents' wonderful adventures on the world's oceans. Although Charlie is happy for them, he
