Description
'Your abilities as a Keeper allow you to open doors that others can not.'
Imprisoned in the mythical world of Bellania, CHARLIE KEEPER is at the mercy of Lord Bane's guards while her loyal friends have been sold into slavery.
When the TERRIFYING Edge Darkmount breaks into her cell, he promises to decipher the meaning of her mysterious pendant - and unlock the secrets of Bellania - if she will help him get revenge on Bane.
But can she TRUST him? The future of the realm relies on Charlie's special powers. Even if she escapes it may take more than she can summon to overthrow the evil lord - it may take an entire army . . .
** A contemporary fantasy adventure for 10+ with elements of The Wizard of Oz, Lemony Snicket and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Perfect for fans of Tolkien's The Hobbit and Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell's The Edge Chronicles.

Reviews / Votes
There's a surprise around every corner. Marcus Alexander has done a brilliant job. I would rather read Crow's Revenge than read Harry Potter! -- Michael B, Year 7 The story and artwork are excellent and they complement each other in the same way as Chris Riddell's artwork and Paul Stewart's storytelling do on their wonderful Edge Chronicles * Fantasy Book Review * . . . a classic children's fantasy * SFX * He was so enthusiastic - he was a performer as well as an author -- Rosie Dudgeon, school librarian The nature of the magic in Bellania felt particularly fresh, and will appeal to the imaginations of young readers. For me though, the most enjoyable part of the book was its villains [On Crow's Revenge] * The Book Zone *More details

Person
After several incident-filled years of travelling the world Marcus Alexander decided to pack in all serious attempts at reaching maturity and instead embraced the much more suitable world of parchment scribbling for a living. Marcus has a fondness for causing mischief, knows how to run really, really fast when he's in trouble and knows how to duck out of sight when someone points the long, bony finger of blame.
