In Gouveia’s the second installment of the Drifters Realm saga, the siblings Roe, Ori, Theo, and Tora must put aside their differences and work together to unravel an ancient prophecy that predicts an impending war. In a  fantastical world, where magic and danger abound, twelve-year-old triplets Ori, Roe, and Tora must stop their treacherous uncle with the help of their brother Theo. Armed with ancient rings and outcast allies known as the Menace, they journey through treacherous landscapes, facing shifting alliances and questioning loyalties. But can they stay ahead of danger and prevent their uncle’s oppressive rule from taking over? This coming-of-age adventure thrusts the readers into a whirlwind of danger and self-discovery, from the very first scene. Fuelled by constant action, high-stakes conflicts, and perilous situations, Gouveia expertly crafts a diverse and dynamic cast of characters, including the cunning antagonist, Zane. As Ori, Roe, Tora, and Theo navigate their own relationships and search for their identities, stunning illustrations and vivid descriptions bring the story to life. While this installment can be read alone, the cliffhanger ending will leave readers eagerly anticipating the next one in the series. Immersive and poignant; a definite page-turner
