Discover a new world in this portal fantasy where magic is real, animals can talk, and humans are extinct in what Kirkus Reviews called “one enchanting package.”
Lore Deoradán wants to be happy when she grows up. But navigating her parents’ mercurial moods, moving to a new town just two weeks before her high school graduation, and dealing with her beloved grandma’s declining health all make that dream seemingly impossible. Will her new job be the first step toward happiness, or will it be yet another disappointment?
When she falls down a well into a magical world with talking animals that haven’t seen a human for years, she must clear her name of the mayor’s murder. Although, how anyone believes she killed a Herculean-sized alligator is beyond her. Now, her survival is tied to a mouse with a chip on her shoulder. There’s also a cat who owns a pub where the animal patrons might be cannibals, a giant snake librarian who probably wants to eat her, and sentient lampposts who are never there when you need them.
Can Lore prove her innocence, help a newfound friend save the town from a dark and dangerous schemer, and find her way home?
Return to what Kirkus Reviews called a “bewitching” fantasy world of Down The Well. This sequel explores memory, magic, and the all important question of: does your past define you?
Still eager to recover her memories and return to her own world, Lore Deoradán is bound for another adventure with the sassy mouse Mathilde and some new friends since she first fell down the well on her grandmother’s property.
After defeating a tyrannical and power-crazed Wielder in Charmsend, she is on her next adventure in Thimbleton. Along the way, Lore and her companions must trust each other, confront one of their own’s questionable past, and survive climbing the grand Cliffs of Wayward.
Delve deeper into the world of Thimbleton, as Veronica King dives deeper into fan favorite characters, learn more about the history of a world where talking animals are normal, humans are extinct, and there is always someone with a secret.
