The Woken Ones- The End of the Day

By Siri Kolu

Could Leo be in worse trouble than searching for his missing sister in a cave filled with Woken Ones? 

Leo’s younger sister Lumi has disappeared, and the trail leads to the land of Daybreak the Woken Ones’ reality, an upside-down world in which the Woken Ones are active from the first light of their morning to dusk. Luckily, Leo’s friend Kirill joins the search for Lumi.

It’s a difficult and dangerous mission – especially when it turns out that Lumi has a reason for staying in the land of Daybreak and that a hostile visitor has invaded the Woken Ones’ kingdom.

The Woken Ones – The End of the Day is the final book in the exciting trilogy by celebrated author Siri Kolu, and is illustrated by Johanna Lumme. Drawing inspiration from ancient myths and gaming, Kolu has created an action-packed horror story that also touches on subjects such as grief and friendship.
