Peter and Isabela's story continues in Forbidden Fruit, the sequel to The High King's Queen:

With a deafening blow of Aslan's magical horn, the kings and queens of Old return to Narnia. To their shattered kingdom, broken empire and lost hope. With the onslaught of the evil sorcerer, Vladimar's, monstrous forces, the Narnians retreat deeper and deeper, leaving behind no shred of their existence. Together with the displaced King Caspian, an old friend of theirs, the Pevensies struggle to find the Narnia of their memories. But then, on Aslan's Table, a greater evil is reborn – Jadis, the ethereal, deadly White Witch, who will stop at nothing to extract her revenge from the Pevensies, who were responsible for her downfall. With Narnia itself on the verge of doom and collapse and with despair, mistrust and suspicion everywhere, what will the Narnians be willing to fight for?

Exclusive Extracts :

Teaser 1:

Heidi stared transfixed as Vladimar circled the stone table, murmuring incantations in his serpentine tones:

"Claim of flesh I have over thee. With the flame of blood, I give rise to thee."

She felt goosebumps erupt over her pale skin. A cold blast of wind swept through, violently tearing at her dress.

"The flame, my dear."

Heidi knelt down and bowing her head, extended the flame in her hands like an offering. The wind caught at it and suddenly, with a massive eruption, fire leapt around the table, rearing and smoking. And in its dancing glory, Heidi saw a slender figure emerging, uncoiling like a serpent ready to strike.

Teaser 2:

He saw a flicker of gold and white and tugged at it. He stared at the lovely material in his hands. The charred ruins of his wife's wedding dress.

Teaser 3:

Peter slapped his forehead: "Of course! I'm so stupid!"

"Of course you are. I've been trying to tell you that for ages. Did you just realize that now?"

Peter glared at him. "Shut up, Ed."

Teaser 4:

Peter looked down and saw a dagger, stained with blood, protruding from his chest. Straight through his heart.
