The fourth book in an exciting young fantasy series by the author of "The Hunger", with a stunning new cover design. Only a few months have passed since Gregor and Boots returned from the Underland, leaving their mother behind to recover from her injury.

Although Gregor's family receives frequent updates on her condition, everyone knows that Gregor must return to fulfill his role as a warrior, which is key to the survival of the Underlanders.

Accompanied by his now talking little sister Boots, who is still considered a "princess", Gregor joins forces with another princess - 12-year-old Luxa - and Ripred, the rat, to defend the Underlanders and the vulnerable "Nibblers", or flies, from the rat army.
