The bravest, smallest rabbit the world has ever known! Podkin One-Ear is back in the eighth book of this epic series, in a race against time to find a magical anvil.

'Spellbinding.' Guardian

After claiming the Singing Spear, Podkin heads to the sea to search out the last gift of all - the anvil of Magmarok - which is hidden inside a mysterious labyrinth. He must brave Ancient sea monsters and pirates to arrive at the city that houses the anvil before Scramashank and his Gorm. But what will it take to defeat the labyrinth and win the anvil? And what will happen when the Gifts finally gather in one place?

Another rip-roaring adventure, exquisitely illustrated with full page artwork from the leading fantasy illustrator of our age, David Wyatt.
