The Gift of Dark Hollow deepens the Longburrow mythology as Podkin ventures further into danger to protect his home. In The Beasts of Grimheart, Podkin, his sister Paz and baby brother Pook must shelter refugees while the Gorm tear the forest apart hunting for them. The story then shifts with Uki and the Outcasts, introducing an outsider revived by an ancient spirit and sent on a quest across the icy wastes beyond the Cinder Wall. The saga continues in Uki and the Swamp Spirit, as Uki races to outwit a disease-spreading spirit while evading the Endwatch and a clan of assassins. Together, these five paperbacks form a sweeping, interconnected saga of clever world-building and memorable animal heroes. Fans of Redwall and Watership Down will find much to love, as each volume stands as a satisfying adventure while contributing to a larger tapestry of clans, spirits and legends best enjoyed in order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete run of five paperbacks for a continuous, collectible reading journey.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue Peter Book Award-winning storytelling from a former primary school teacher.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRich themes of courage, family loyalty and resilience woven throughout.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for independent readers building chapter-book stamina, ages 9-12.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePortable paperback format, perfect for school bags and long journeys.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA brilliant gateway series for young fans of fantasy and adventure fiction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nKieran Larwood is a British author who spent fifteen years as a primary school Reception class teacher before turning to writing full time.

This four-book set carries the story from the eerie tunnels of Uki and the Ghostburrow through to the astonishing finale, The Fate of Podkin One-Ear. Packed with cunning villains, ancient magic and loyal friendships, these books suit confident readers who love animal-fantasy adventure in the tradition of Watership Down and Redwall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis collection picks up the Five Realms saga as Uki, a small but determined rabbit, braves the haunted tunnels of the Ghostburrow in search of the fearsome spirit Mortix, aided by loyal friends and a healthy dose of courage. The story then returns to Podkin himself in Podkin and the Singing Spear, where, now Chieftain and reluctant Keeper of the Gifts, he must travel to dangerous new lands to recover the Goddess's scattered treasures before the sinister Gorm can claim them. Podkin and the Tentacled Terror plunges the warren into watery peril, with eerie sea-creatures, hidden traps and a test of trust between old friends and new allies. Finally, The Fate of Podkin One-Ear brings the saga to its dramatic close: as the last of the Goddess's gifts come together, they transform into a suit of armour that only a one-eared rabbit can wear, setting up a final stand against the Gorm. Told through vivid world-building and richly drawn rabbit heroes, these four books deepen the themes of bravery, loyalty and identity that made the earlier Podkin books so loved, while raising the stakes with bigger quests and stranger creatures. Ideal for fans of animal-led fantasy, this set rewards readers who want to see much-loved characters through to their triumphant conclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour consecutive instalments (books 6-9) of the acclaimed Five Realms \/ World of Podkin One-Ear saga.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAward-winning storytelling packed with adventure, humour and heart.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for confident readers aged 8-12 who enjoy animal-fantasy and epic quests.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFollows much-loved characters through to the series' dramatic finale.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDurable paperback set, ideal for gifting or building a home library.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat for fans of Watership Down, Redwall and Warriors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nKieran Larwood is a bestselling British author best known for The World of Podkin One-Ear (also called the Five Realms series), which began with The Legend of Podkin One-Ear, winner of the Blue Peter Best Story Book Award.
