Fast, funny, and bursting with fantasy action, HERO TRIAL launches an irresistible new series that drops readers straight into the thrilling world of the Dungeon Running League - where bravery, brains, and teamwork matter just as much as strength.
CALLING ALL DUNGEON RUNNERS! There’s an opening in the league, and it could be your only shot at glory.
Kit has dreamed of becoming a Dungeon Runner his entire life. The only problem? He’s a gnorf (part gnome, part dwarf) - smaller than most competitors and often overlooked. But when a surprise space opens up for a brand-new team, Kit seizes his chance.
Teaming up with sharp-witted Sandy and fearless Thorn, Kit must prove himself in the ultimate hero trial: battling monsters, navigating deadly mazes, solving clever puzzles, and chasing treasure - all under the watchful eyes of the league. With danger around every corner and laughs along the way, the trio soon discover that being a hero isn’t about size… it’s about heart.
Written by Kieran Larwood and brought vividly to life by Joe Todd-Stanton, this award-winning opener combines cinematic action with warm humour and instantly lovable characters. Short chapters and dynamic illustrations that keep pages turning, and ideal for confident readers and fantasy fans ready for their next obsession, Dungeon Runners: Hero Trial is a brilliant series starter that proves heroes come in all shapes and sizes - and the adventure is only just beginning.
