Author Allan Stratton talks about his book THE GRAVE ROBBER'S APPRENTICE—a thrilling new fantasy adventure. About the Book: Hans has no last name, no home, and no idea where he came from. He washed ashore in a wooden box as a baby, and was taken in by Knobbe the Bent—a crooked, conniving grave robber who is grooming Hans to follow in his despicable footsteps. Angela Gabriela von Schwanenberg is a young countess who dreams of performing in the great courts of Europe. But the twisted Archduke Arnulf has chosen Angela to be the next in his long line of brides, all of whom have mysteriously died shortly after their weddings. Desperate to escape her future, Angela fakes her own death—only to be discovered by the young grave-robber-in-training, and the pair sets off on a wild journey through dangerous lands and dark woods, dodging obstacles and enemies at every turn. The Archduke's guards hot on their heels, led by the terrifying and mysterious Necromancer. As they try to avoid their captors, Hans and Angela uncover a mystery surrounding Hans' beginnings—and realize that the key to their future may lie in his shadowy past.
