Kingdom of the Sunless Winter (Middle Grade Reissue)

An evil serpent. A pandemic. Pirates. Fairies. A fearless indigenous tribe. A brave lion. An intrepid prince. Believe in the powers you possess. Igor Maklakov has been cursed by the Mighty Serpent, a malevolent thousand-foot beast from the underworld Aljinan. For the curse to be lifted, Igor's youngest son must be sacrificed. The beast has taken control of Igor's thoughts to make carrying out the task easier. Yet, against the serpent's commands, Igor has decided to fight back and try to break the spell on his own. Unable to battle him alone, though, a fairy uses magic to bring the characters and creatures from his son's favorite fairytale to life, forming an army to help Igor defeat the monster.
