Sebastian Darke: Prince of Fools

Synopsis
Sebastian Darke has the world on his narrow shoulders. The son of a human father and an elvish mother, he is desperately trying to become the family breadwinner and has taken on his late father’s job – celebrated jester, Prince of Fools. Trouble is, Sebastian can’t tell a joke to save his life. Dressed in his father’s clothes and accompanied by his talking (and endlessly complaining) buffalo, Max, he sets off for the fabled city of Keladon, where he hopes to be appointed court jester to King Septimus. On the way he encounters a tiny but powerful warrior called Cornelius; the beautiful Princess Kerin; blood-thirsty Brigands and enough perils to make him wonder why he ever decided to leave home. This is a hilarious and swashbuckling adventure!

Sebastian, Max and Cornelius are off on their most hazardous adventure yet. Deep in the dense jungles of the south they are searching for the legendary lost city of Mendip when their quest is rudely interrupted by a savage attack by a band of Gograth – armoured apelike beasts. Rescued by jungle girl Keera, they are taken to the village of the Jilith, a primitive tribe of warriors, who are themselves locked in a grim struggle for survival with the Gograth. Sebastian’s arrival has been foretold in an ancient prophesy which states that the elf-Lord and his two companions will rid the Jilith of the curse of the Gograth forever.And if Sebastian, Max and Cornelius can achieve this Keera herself will guide them to the Lost City. But first our heroic trio must brave savage battles, hazardous journeys, attacks by fierce beasts and some of the worst jokes in history. And what’s more when they finally reach their destination, they have to contend with The Night Runners – the most terrifying foe they have ever encountered; a foe that simply cannot be killed …because they are already dead.

But bored by sitting around at his Father’s hacienda, he and his faithful valet Coates embark on a trip to visit an ancient archaeological site… where he quickly discovers that this new world is every bit as perilous as The Valley of the Kings.
Pursued by ruthless bandits, intent on taking him hostage, he is forced to take refuge on an aeroplane with a motley collection of fellow travellers. When an unforeseen event forces the plane down in the midst of a remote tropical rain forest, even more dangers await him and his companions in the shape of the lost Aztec city of Colotlan, which has lain undiscovered and unchanged for over 500 years.

As time ticks away, Alec and his friends must use all of their ingenuity to evade his deadly obsidian knife – and when Itzli summons the forces of darkness, in the shape of the terrifying Children Of Mictlan,…it becomes an adventure where only the strongest will survive.

Product Description

Max, the talking buffalope, has an enquiring mind, a keen sense of humour, and a grumpy disposition. Orphaned by the villainous Neruvians, sold off as a slave to the callous Berundians, he escapes into the wilderness, is attacked by vicious lupers, and rescued in the nick of time by the jester, Alexander Darke.

Alexander is young and fairly unsuccessful. Done out in a costume of many colours, he totes his caravan around, entertaining people with (mostly bad) jokes. Max settles in with Alexander and his elvish wife, Sarah. He makes himself indispensable and the partnership prospers. Word gets around, and a Royal Command Performance is arranged. They are top of the bill. But everything that can go wrong goes wrong…. hilarously. The hitherto lugubrious King Cletus is enchanted. Stars overnight, they see off their arch-rival, the bad comic Jonathan Jolly.

Sarah finds that she is expecting a happy event. Fetch the midwife! A nightmare journey back. Max to the rescue again! Sebastian Darke is born.
