The Battle for Acchora

Critics are calling the highly anticipated second novel in Andrew Kooman's Ten Silver Coin series "a rich, adventurous tale." The world's on fire and Jill strong set it aflame when she obeyed King Eckwith's dying wish to trigger the volcano. As she escapes with the Drylings from their hiding place into the land of Acchora, she's about to go from one dangerous realm into another. With Juria now Queen over a divided nation, to survive above ground the Drylings must unite against the Rashtakar's armies that begin to fill the land. But Ama's discovery of wingless refugees on the slope of the burning mountain and a mysterious visitor from a far-away land threaten to further divide the Drylings into factions. The battle for Acchora is a fight not only for survival but for the future. Even though Jill and Simon are outsiders caught up in the middle of the drama, without them, the battle for Acchora could be lost. From the imagination of award-winning author and playwright Andrew Kooman The Battle for Acchora is a book loved by children and adults alike... and families can read and enjoy together. Perfect for readers' groups and book clubs that enjoy talking about adventure, the meaning of life, and what it means to be courageous in the world. "Hints of... legendary authors like C.S. Lewis, Madeleine L'Engle and J.R.R. Tolkien....What sets the book apart is Kooman's gift for painting pictures [with] words." - Red Deer Express
