Description

"Ah told yeh lad, this ain't no fairytale!" The legends are true: HOBS are real. Except these aren't pixies or elves or any other such fairytale nonsense; they're aliens. Stranded on Earth for hundreds of years, the Hobs have made a new home, deep below the Derbyshire countryside; a secret city called Narrowdark. It's hidden, secure and safe. But when an ancient power is released into the world above, they have to act. Because all that power just crashed into a rather shocked 12-year-old human, called Jac… An old English legend… A secret underground city… And a boy with an ancient power.
