About this listen
Lukas has been apprenticed to work for Emperor Rudolph II. The reclusive emperor collects wonders from around the world, all crammed into four rooms. Not everyone is charmed by his eccentricity though, and when a group of diplomats arrives, sent by the King of Spain, Lukas senses danger. But if he is to protect the great Bohemian from tyranny Lukas must first learn the true meaning of trust, honour and friendship.
©2014 Paul Dowswell (P)2014 Oakhill PublishingCritic reviews
"It’s pacy, with great characterisation, and rich with the most wonderful historical detail" (thebookbag.co.uk)
"A gripping read which I thoroughly recommend" (First News)
"This gripping and dramatic story is well-placed to conquer any prejudice that teenage readers might have against historical novels . . . a powerful and compelling story" (School Librarian)
