The Forgotten Crown - James Haddell

 


The Forgotten Crown is the much anticipated second novel from James Haddell and the second in the Tales of Truth and Treasure series. 

After the exciting ending to The Lost Child's Quest, Tia is keen to try to uncover more of the secrets about her past. Through her investigations, she discovers more of why she was left on the steps of an orphanage as a baby, but will this lead to more questions?

Starting in London, The Forgotten Crown takes you straight to the action and Tia and her sister, Megan, realise they are not alone in their quest for clues... and these treasure hunters will stop at nothing to uncover the truth. 

Stormhaven Castle, where the Trevelyans live, is still the main setting for the family but the endeavours in The Forgotten Crown take them out and about and it is Tia and Megan who take the lead this time, with Pasco staying at home.  The vivid settings within the castle as well as the Tower of London and Glastonbury Abbey create an atmospheric and immersive read. 

The pace is fast from the start and you will be gripped as the perilous plot unfolds, with the Legend of King Arthur coming to the fore. There is just one problem: the end leaves you desperately wanting more!
