The fight to protect the Amphibilands rages on in the second book of this action-packed, illustrated series by former football pro Trevor Pryce. The Spider Queen and Lord Marmoo of the scorpions still have their eyes and fangs set on the vulnerable home of the frogs and this time they've got some impressive back-up: the Ghost Bats, Tasmanian Devils and Blue Band Bees. The constant threats from the outside are keeping our frog warriors busy, so while Gee and Coorah hold down the defenses, Darel and the Kulipari go in search of their dreamcasting turtle friend Yabber. Yabber, once found, insists that the ancient carvings in his cave will unlock the secret to saving the Amphibilands. Darel recognises one of the symbols: the Rainbow Serpent. He goes to the Serpent for guidance and what the Serpent has to say is shocking. Darel, our fumbling young hero, is in fact the mythical "Blue Sky King." With some powerful new allies and a destiny larger than he could have possibly imagined, Darel may be able to beat his enemies and protect his home once and for all.
In this dramatic finale to the Kulipari series, the future of the Amphibilands looks bleak. With the scorpion lord Marmoo stronger than ever and still maniacally bent on taking over the outback, Darel can't fathom why the Rainbow Serpent wants him to lower the Veil, the Amphibilands' only source of protection. But the Serpent's message is clear, and in preparation for the inevitable battle, Darel and the Kulipari go out in search of someone, anyone, to fight on their side. Without strong allies, and without the Veil, the Amphibilands quickly fall to the scorpion lord, and the frogs and their friends are cast into the outback in search of water and a new home. The frogs must start over--this time, in an inclusive community where "it takes all kinds" to survive. Author and former NFL player Trevor Pryce and acclaimed comics artist Sanford Greene pack this third installment with nonstop action, unexpected twists and turns, and rich, full-colour illustrations.
