![]() ![]() The Sequel Hook has yet to be followed up on - instead, the 2000s saw the release of two Deptford Mouselets books, set apart from the main action. In between the snippets of history are mentions of the characters' lives in the present day - and a series of strange and foreboding events. The main trilogies were followed by The Deptford Mice Almanack, a collection of animal traditions and folklore written by an in-universe chronicler. These books include The Alchemist's Cat which tells the tale of a young boy who is held against his will by a sorcerer and a cat that would eventually gain great powers from being the sorcerer's familiar, The Oaken Throne which tells the tale of a bat and squirrel who must find a way to stop an evil cult while a war between their species rages on, and Thomas which tells the tale of a seafaring mouse who is hounded by a Religion of Evil known as the Scale. The next three books are known as the Deptford Histories and serve as prequel stories. The books include The Dark Portal, The Crystal Prison, and The Final Reckoning. ![]() ![]() ![]() Audrey must find a way to vanquish Jupiter in order to stop him from wreaking havoc against the world, but the odds are stacked against her.
