In this week’s reading of The Poisoned King (pages 163–214, chapters The Secret Door → The Star Tower), Christopher and Anya discover a hidden library, meet a harpy librarian and her mouse assistant, and encounter two truly dangerous creatures—a manticore and a chimaera.
There’s humor, heartbreak, and a big moment of disagreement between our heroes as they search for the antidote for the dragons and attempt to solve the clue to the Loquillan.
Along the way, we talk about courage, curiosity, and what friendship looks like when things get hard.
👉 This week’s question:
If you found a hidden library, what would you hope to discover there?
Next Reading: Pages 217–273 (Ever Onward → The Justice of Dragons) — our final section of The Poisoned King!
