ABOUT THE BOOK:

It’s a race against time for the Shadow Chasers. Led by the General, an army of monsters is intent on destroying this world.

The Shadow Chasers have discovered that if they defeat the General on the Night of the Red Moon, her army will sleep forever.

As the minutes tick by, and the moon turns blood red, the Shadow Chasers are joined by the ancient god/Kaggen.

But the General is the fiercest and most dangerous warrior of all… are their combined forces going to be enough?

“I love Flame of Truth because it’s scary and cool. Nom is a very brave girl,” said Gugulethu Machin, a tweeny reader.
