Beast Quest: Arcta the Mountain Giant (Series 1, Book 3)

Unleash the Hero Within!

The land of Avantia is in grave danger. An evil wizard, Malvel, has enchanted the magical Beasts that once protected the kingdom, turning them into destructive monsters. In this third thrilling adventure, young Tom and his companion Elenna must trek into the treacherous, snow-covered mountains to face Arcta the Mountain Giant.

Once a gentle protector, Arcta is now driven mad by a magical blindfold, causing devastating earthquakes and avalanches that threaten to crush the villagers below. Armed with a magical sword and shield gifted by the wizard Aduro, Tom must find a way to break the spell before it's too late. But with blinding blizzards and a giant as tall as a tree, does he have the courage to save Avantia?
