After having cured her mother in the first part of her story, Marmalade goes to live in the land of Caldor with her father and the wizard-ruler of Caldor, Beatticus. There she begins years of training as a Sharron Knight and a Sword Maiden, learning under a samurai master. Now an expert in sword and bow, Marmalade is to be initiated into the Sharron Knights on her 16th birthday, but only after she proves her worth. And there is worse yet to come... Beatticus' usurping brother breaks the peace of Caldor, and Marmalade finds herself on the front lines of prophecy-drenched battle in this thrilling continuation of The Curious Tale of Marmalade Tuttle series. Author Bob Trotter lives in Newtownards, County Down, Northern Ireland with his wife and their four daughters. Marmalade Tuttle and the Battle of Caldor is the second of the four-book The Curious Tale of Marmalade Tuttle series.
