Synopsis

World War II has been raging for three years, but a more terrible evil is just over the horizon. The last stones are falling from the Keep of Time, and the Imperial Cartological Society, led by Richard Burton, has collected doors and is building a new tower at the request of an old enemy: the Winter King's shadow. He has a terrible weapon -- the Spear of Destiny -- that can be used to command the shadows of anyone it touches.

The Shadow King uses the Spear of Destiny to enlist an unstoppable army of Dragon shadows. And after the Archipelago falls, the Shadow King intends to use the turmoil of World War II to take over both worlds.

All the legendary Caretakers, past and present, come together to save two worlds, and their only hope lies with a small group of companions who are on the quest for the broken sword Caliburn: the Grail Child, Rose Dyson; her clockwork companion, the owl Archie; a dead professor of ancient literature; and the mythical knight Don Quixote.

Rounded up from a 2.5. As the Shadow of the Winter King tries to take control of both the Archipelago and the Summer Lands using the Spear of Destiny, the Caretakers and Rose must find a way to fulfill the prophecy that prevents this as well as halting the disintegration of the Keep of Time.

Goodreads review by El on December 22, 2024

A ridiculously self-indulgent and self-congratulatory boy’s club. Don’t know how I put up with it when I was younger, but this series did used to be one of my favourites. Famous Author Charles Williams’s relationship with the family of talking badgers is still heartwarming though, he’s by far the be......more

Here's the Imaginarium Geographica drinking game. Take a shot every time: - someone says "this is a fine how-do-you-do" - someone says something "matter-of-factly" - one of the main characters is confused - one of the main characters makes a stupid decision - one of the main characters comes to a bad con......more

Goodreads review by Natalia on April 30, 2020

Another great book from James A Owen! 4.5/5 stars, in my opinion. The 4th installment in the series sees our protagonists thrown from their lives in the "present" (1936) to 7 years in the future (1943). Luckily they're in the Archipelago of Dreams, and not in our world, where WW2 is raging. This book......more
