This epic adventure for middle-aged readers—complementing Peter Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes and Sophie Quire and the Last Storyguard—will take readers to the ends of the earth... and beyond. From the bestselling author of the New York Times and award-winning author of The Night Gardener and Sweep.

The War of the Maps is an incredible fantasy in the spirit of His Dark Materials and The Last Battle, daring to offer new answers to eternal questions—inviting readers of all ages to sail beyond the edges of the map into a world of magic, myths, and unlimited adventure.

Since the dawn of time, two opposing forces have been locked in an endless battle: the war between magic and reason—between what is and what could be. And the winner will shape not only the future but also the very nature of reality.

Peter Nimble and Sophie Quire have spent the last four years fighting to protect a world of magic from the treacherous, relentless forces of "progress." But every day, the wonders that once surrounded them are disappearing. Hidden behind this transformation is a mysterious group called The League of Maps, which seems to hold the answers.

As Peter and Sophie struggle to solve this mystery, they find themselves on opposite sides of a massive war that stretches from the dawn of humanity to the present day.

Enjoy the fantastic adventure from Jonathan Auxier's Vanished Kingdoms books: Peter Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes tells the story of a ten-year-old blind orphan who discovers three pairs of magical eyes, while Sophie Quire and the Last Storyguard continues the story with Sophie joining Peter in his quest. The War of the Maps explores a great clash between magic and reason.
