Bookroo's summary
Mo, known as the Bluejay, faces a dire challenge as the Adderhead's immortality book unravels. With children kidnapped and threatened with slavery, Mo must decide whether to surrender or fight. As the White Women of Death loom, can Mo save the kingdom and rewrite fate? The stakes are high, and the story's end is uncertain. Will the Bluejay rise to the occasion, or will the cursed tale claim another victim? Dive into a world where fiction and reality blur, and every decision could be the last.
From the publisher
The Adderhead–his immortality bound in a book by Meggie’s father, Mo–has ordered his henchmen to plunder the villages. The peasants’ only defense is a band of outlaws led by the Bluejay–Mo’s fictitious double, whose identity he has reluctantly adopted. But the Book of Immortality is unraveling, and the Adderhead again fears the White Women of Death. To bring the renegade Bluejay back to repair the book, the Adderhead kidnaps all the children in the kingdom, dooming them to slavery in his silver mines unless Mo surrenders. First Dustfinger, now Mo: Can anyone save this cursed story?
