- The epic first novel in the allegorical fantasy series about the romance and adventures of a community of moles is &“a breathtaking achievement&” (The Washington Post). The moles of Duncton Wood live in the shadow of Mandrake, a cruel tyrant corrupted by absolute power. A solitary young mole, Bracken, leads the fight to free them. Only by putting his trust in the ancient Stone, a forgotten symbol of a great spiritual past, can Bracken find the strength to challenge Mandrake&’s darkness. When Bracken falls in love with Rebecca, Mandrake&’s daughter, the moles must make life and death choices as their extraordinary search for freedom and truth begins. Together, Bracken and Rebecca will embark on moving journey that will challenge them in ways they could never have imagined. But can they save Duncton before it&’s too late? &“A passionate, lyrical, appealing tale . . . Consistently absorbing . . . Enchanting.&” —Cosmopolitan &“A great big mole-epic with a great big theme.&” —Daily Mail
