Their quaint town is on the brink of peril, a menace looming that threatens to disrupt the much-anticipated Dance of the Gargoyles. The clock is ticking, and it’s up to Milo, Sammy, Suzy, and Kat to unravel the mystery and neutralize the threat before chaos ensues.

In Milo Savage and the Gargoyle Hunters Book Two: Curse of the Chimera, author D.S. Quinton delivers a thrilling follow-up to The Secret of the Moonstone. This fantasy novel brims with suspense and is beautifully paced, weaving through dramatic encounters with ease, striking a balance between light-heartedness and gravity. The characters remain true to their origins, with Quinton offering just enough background to welcome new readers into this fantastical world.
