A gripping and wonderfully spooky standalone adventure from critically acclaimed author Katherine Langrish.
When Wolf runs away from the monastery where he grew up, he finds himself lost on Devil’s Edge – a hill riddled with old mine shafts, said to be infested with ghosts, boggarts, elves, and perhaps even the Devil himself. Wolf meets a local knight out hunting, who offers him work and shelter in his castle – a place inhabited by a host of unexpected characters – a hearth hob, a ghostly white lady and a mysterious wandering juggler...
Together Wolf and Nest, the knight’s daughter, become embroiled in a mystery which leads Wolf into the very darkest depths of Devil’s Edge...

“Despite the high drama of Troll Mill, it is moments of comedy... which will make children rock with delight and long for the further adventures of Peer.” Amanda Craig, The Times

In Troll Fell Katherine Langrish has unearthed a captivating world. Bleak and captivating. Her style is quirky and hypnotic and her characters are instantly recognizable as someone you know, or someone you wish you didn't. Eoin Colfer

"The style is enthralling, and the adventure persuasive and gripping. A juicy read for children." Independent on Sunday
