Books with author Katherine M. Doherty

Book II in the Thomas Holland series. In the first book Tom and his friends restored the barrier – but that was only a temporary fix. Now they must find a permanent solution, the artifact, which will protect Elfhaven for a thousand years and restore the Citadel's power to a level so that Tom and his mom can safely return home to Earth. To find the artifact they are forced to embark on a dangerous quest through the deadly Demon Forest, cross the raging Icebain River, and solve the riddle of the Cave of Nightmares. On their desperate journey they must climb an active volcano past scalding geysers, boiling mudpots, and deadly giant ice-worms. Standing in their way are a bungling troll and ogre, a shape-shifting demon, and a demented fairy queen. With gremlins and wizards in hot pursuit only Tom’s scientific knowledge and the use of light and dark magic can save them. Did I mention dragons?

Tom does not believe in magic. For a thousand years, the Prophecy of Elfhaven has predicted the arrival of a boy who would irrevocably change their world. But what does that have to do with Tom? with his dog Max? with his robot Chloe? When Tom’s mom and her team of scientists unexpectedly open a portal to another universe they discover a world where magic, not science rules. And when Tom’s robot, Chloe, is drafted into service to explore that strange new world, it unleashes a bizarre series of events. Events where dragons, wizards, ogres, trolls, elves, dwarves, magic and technology collide; events that propel Tom headlong towards a war that threatens to destroy Elfhaven. Even with the help of his new-found friends, and despite the efforts of his new-found enemies, can Tom save this world or will he inadvertently bring about its destruction?
