The Scaler of Peaks is the third book in the four-part series Song of the Eye Stone. Set in a fantastical world, it is an epic saga of friendship, longing and the things that really matter in life. Iberis has destroyed the northern port town. Miranda, Syrsa and Lydia have set out on a quest to find the eye stone – the source of Iberis' power - and destroy it. Together they must scale inhospitable peaks, battle the cold, and navigate the strange ways of the mountain folk in order to journey deep into the mountains, where the eye stone is being held. But they have no idea what dangers lie in store for them... 'Finnish Swedish-speaking author and journalist Karin Erlandsson is one of the most successful and most acclaimed children's authors in the Swedish language and she has woven a fantastical tale, skilfully translated by Annie Prime. Erlandsson effortlessly combines a fantastical world with the natural world from the meticulous detail of the trio's arduous climb up the mountains and navigating the caves to Lydia and Syrsa's knowledge of herbs and plants for healing. Although this can be read as a stand-alone story as Erlandsson does recap crucial elements from the past two books, it would be ideal to read them all in sequence to enjoy the epic nature of the saga.'
