**SIGNED SPECIAL EDIE EDITION - available to pre-order. Published 11th September 2025**

The dragons call out, and the ratatoskas tell of murder. Come with us now. There is justice to be done.

Return to the magic of the Archipelago... The Poisoned King is the dazzling second book in Katherine Rundell's epic and bestselling Impossible Creatures series. 'There was Tolkien, there is Pullman and now there is Katherine Rundell' – Michael Morpurgo.

When Christopher Forrester is unexpectedly woken by a miniature dragon chewing on his face, his heart leaps for joy.

For months he’s dreamed of returning to the Archipelago – the secret islands where all the creatures of myth still live. But he did not know it would involve a rescue mission on the back of a sphinx, or a plan to enter a dragon’s lair. Nor did he imagine it would involve a girl with a flock of birds at her side, a new-hatched chick in her pocket and a ravenous hunger for justice...

The unmissable sequel to Impossible Creatures.
