Skin of bark soul of a hero...an astonishing adventure from the bestselling author of The
World of Podkin One-Ear. Albion city is governed by a puppet queen secretly controlled by Lord
Cromwell and strange magic is afoot as six Guilds all compete to rule it. Although the Leaf
Guild is the weakest no one has reckoned with newcomer Jed Greenleaf's extraordinary ability
to transform into a half-tree covered over with bark...he just needs to learn how to harness
that power. Could he be the hero that the Guild needs to win at the Punchbowl tournament? It
just might be that this year Jed can turn over a new leaf in the history books and bring glory
to the decaying Guild and peace to Albion... Beautifully illustrated with full page artwork by
leading fantasy illustrator David Wyatt.
