Fans of S A Patrick’s fantasy novel A Darkness of Dragons will snatch up this sequel with real excitement – after all, in Patch Brightwater, Wren Cobble and Barver Knopferkerkle, he’s created the kind of characters readers really miss when the book ends. Reunited for more adventures, the three are faced with challenges and dangers galore as they try to thwart the wicked Hamelyn Piper.
First on their to-do list however, is to rescue Patch’s friend Erner Whitlock from some very deep dungeons… The world the friends inhabit is full of surprises, for them as much as for readers, and their adventures crackle with magic and suspense. If you enjoy going on quests, untangling prophecies and, of course, spending time with characters who are brave, loyal and very good company, then these are the books for you.

S.A. Patrick was born in Belfast. When he was a child, he wanted to write video games, become an author, and have magical powers. The first two came true. If he ever does get magical powers, he hopes people like dragons and griffins because there'll suddenly be a lot of them around.
He has had four previous books published as Seth Patrick. Songs of Magic is his first series for children.

A Vanishing of Griffins is a brilliant story that continues from a darkness of dragons with narrow escapes and unexpected twists. I would without a doubt give this a five star review.
In this wonderful book it carries on the tension-filled story from a darkness of dragons with the three familiar friends Wren, Barver and Patch. I would recommend this story to all ages over or 8 years old. It was so good that after reading the two books in the series I told my mum to read them and she did - and she loved them too! This sequel is another brilliant adventure and it kept me guessing as to what was going to happen next - I can't wait for the third book to come out. I will recommend this series to all my friends.... Read Full Review
