Breaking Badlands

Video game fans and book lovers alike will be swept into an undercover mission that might destroy the balance between good and evil forever in the conclusion to the Talespinners series, perfect for readers of The Land of Stories.

After saving all of Fable twice now, Indira is recruited by the Anti-Heroes, a secret group trying to help overthrow the current tyrannical leader of Fester and rival Antagonist Academy for villains-in-training. Indira poses as a new student and starts navigating the school's hierarchy, which includes participating in a virtual warfare called the Badlands.

Facing monster teachers, plotting classmates, distracting love interests and combative old foes is all second nature to a hero like Indira. But what happens when that heroic nature is turned against her like a weapon? Can Indira get to the bottom of what's going on in Fester before this virtual battlescape spills over into a real war between good and evil for ultimate control of Imagination?
