'This book is the sequel to The Land Behind the World. In the first book, a girl called Bara develops her awareness to the point where she discovers the Land Behind the World. Entering it, she is greeted as a “Missing Person”, and joins Susie, Zaddik and the rest of those who are fighting the Flugs of Grey City. When the magical character the Fool, appears it is evident that great changes are coming. At the end of the first book, Bara and the others have escaped from Grey City, leaving it in a state of disruption as the Flugs run wild.'

'This book is the third in a quartet. The first two books, The Land Behind the World and The Lost Souls of the Twilight describe the adventures of Bara, a girl from our world who visits the Land Behind the World. The Land is a place of great contrasts: there is Grey City, a square, walled-in place where the people have become so soulless that they have turned into Flugs; there are the Western Mountains, the home of the Hill-folk, free, wild, full of life and colour and between these two the Grey Waste, a desolate place burned by the glaring sun and swept by howling dust storms. In the second book the Flugs tried to invade the Western Mountains but they were beaten at the Battle of Glendower, when the magical character, the Fool, led the Lost Souls of the Twilight into their midst. The news of the Flugs' defeat spread swiftly and many things began to change all over the Land.'

'This is the fourth book in the series about the Land Behind the World. In the first book Bara, Dov and Eris come into conflict with the soulless Flugs of Grey City and in subsequent books the struggle between life and the deathly influence of the Grey Folk continues. Now, in The Crown of Light, Bara and her two friends join forces again in an exciting culmination of the story begun in the Land Behind the World.'
