Beyond the Garden Gate

THE SAPPHIRE BELL The Sapphire Bell has fallen silent… Its hammer has been stolen and must be returned by sunset, or the power of sleep will be lost forever. In a race against time, a gang of heroic friends set out in search of the precious object. There are tough decisions, brave acts, and strange magic, but evil stands in their way at every turn. The sun is setting with relentless gravity and the hammer is still beyond reach. Time is running out and no-one wants to be awake forever.
