The Lantern Menace — Darren Craske

Princess Castria is a hurricane in a tiara that pushes her royal powers (and her best friend Finch Balfour's nerves) to their absolute limits with her pranks. But when she steals a dusty old lantern belonging to a one-eyed wizard, not only has she put the kingdom of Fanthia at risk, there's a distinct possibility that the Wold itself might be in danger…

Castria has no idea that the lantern contains the incarcerated soul of D'Monica Grace: the witch single-handedly responsible for the darkest period in the Wold's history â€" and now it has fallen into Fanthia's most hated enemies' hands, with plans to reconstitute the ultimate evil into flesh, blood and bone once more.

Along with Fanthia's resident spell-crafter, Rufus Lightfoot, the troublesome princess (with Finch swept up in her wake) must set forth on a race against time to retrieve the lantern before D'Monica's soul is reborn and the Wold is plunged into despair. It's going to be an impossible journey with danger and betrayal at every turn, and many factions conspiring against Finch and Castria, determined to see them fail…
