In this sequel to The Sea of Trolls, Jack's quest takes him underground to the realms of hobgoblins and elves. His companions at various points include his bratty little sister Lucy and the bloodthirsty shield-maiden Thorgil, as they journey through enchanted lands and among astounding peoples. The mix of deep myth and high humor is handled with assurance.
