Under the bloody rule of King Arthur - whilst the cruel Knights of the Round Table wage wars and hunt magical creatures - the people of Camelot are getting sick. Really sick. Something is the poisoning the Kingdom. So two children embark on a quest to find the Holy Grail that could save them all.
Shy, gentle Roan, a young dog keeper who works for the Knights, is desperate to find a cure for his mum. He befriends Elva, a generous and outspoken kitchenhand who has her own reasons for seeking the illusive Grail. Together, can they beat the Knights to find it? And will drinking from it save Roan's mum?
Clare Pollard's first book for children revisits Arthurian legends in a thrilling tale of adventure and mystery. The Untameables turns traditional folklore on its head and forces us to think about how legends are written and whose stories get told.
The Untameables will be published on 24 April 2024.
