They thought the shadows were defeated-until the garden gnomes started to move.

After saving Willow's Edge from a vampire empire, Pugsley the half-vampire hound is ready for a well-earned nap. Then flowerpots topple, lawn ornaments vanish, and pets disappear into the night. When Pugsley, Zenna, and Luna follow the trail, they uncover an army of enchanted gnomes marching beneath their paws-led by Coka, a cunning white-and-orange cat whose purr is as sharp as her claws.

Coka's plan is wickedly simple: turn every living creature to stone, crown herself ruler of the Gnome Warrens, and tunnel straight into the Shadow Realm. With Nick and Britt caught in the crossfire, and Willow's Edge teetering on the brink of chaos, Pugsley must journey into a maze of underground tunnels, break an ancient petrification curse, and outsmart a purring tyrant who always lands on her feet.

But bravery isn't measured in size-it's measured in heart. And this scruffy guardian, his calm-and-wise sister Zenna, and their fearless sister Luna will discover that even the smallest foes can hide the greatest danger.

Stone spells. Sneaky gnomes. A cat with a kingdom to claim.

When darkness rises from below, the Guardians of the Night must stand tall-or be trapped in silence forever.

Pugsley: War of the Gnome King is a fast-paced, laugh-and-shiver adventure about loyalty, courage, and finding light in the deepest tunnels-perfect for readers who love epic battles, spooky mysteries, and heroic dogs who refuse to back down.
