Joe Donnelly - Author
A fast-moving fantasy quest with magical danger, monstrous opponents and a continuing search for Jack’s father. The book appears to combine an imaginative world with a personal family mystery.
"Continuing Jack's quest to find his father, Jack, Kerry, and Corrie have passed through the gate into the peaceful summerland of Uaine. Hoping for a period of respite after all their adventures, they quickly discover that they have work to do. The power-hungry spellbinder, Bodrun, has stolen the copperplates-- protective magical talismans-- and released the terrifying nightshades into the world. These creatures stalk the night, searching for a way to break through to other worlds and wreak havoc. They will do anything to get their claws into the heartstone. With the Book of Ways to guide them, Jack and his friends must travel deep into Bodrun's lair, facing gargoyles, giant spiders, walls of fire, and shrieking all-consuming nightshades, before a final confrontation with the evil spellbinder himself. As Jack finds himself in the midst of this nightmare, he is forced to face what really happened to his father so long ago."-- Provided by publisher.

Jack’s continuing quest to find his father leads towards confronting what happened long ago.
The power-hungry spellbinder Bodrun steals protective copperplates and releases nightshades while seeking the heartstone.
The most evident point for attention is intense fantasy peril: nightshades stalk the night, and the characters face gargoyles, giant spiders, walls of fire and a final confrontation with a spellbinder.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: some draft conclusions still depend on unresolved evidence.
