The event will take place on Wednesday, September 17, at 6.30pm in Tempest Anderson Hall, Museum Street.
In The Poisoned King, the second book in the Impossible Creatures series, readers can expect to return to the Archipelago – a hidden world where mythical creatures thrive.
The story follows Christopher Forrester, who returns to the Archipelago after being awoken by a miniature dragon chewing on his face.
A dragon’s lair, and a girl with a flock of birds at her side, a new-hatched chick in her pocket, and “a ravenous hunger for justice” also feature.
Rundell’s books for children have won numerous awards, including the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize and the Costa Children’s Book Award.
