About this listen

A breathtaking new fantasy world from the award-winning author of The Last Wild. In an empire of vampires and werewolves, Tibor and Roza are hunting a treasure more valuable than gold ... For readers who loved Katherine Rundell's Impossible Creatures or Somain Chainani's The School for Good and Evil.

Tibor is a child of the night, a werewolf, adopted by his guardian, a powerful vampire. When Tibor discovers he is doomed by a deadly curse, he and his friend Rosa set out to find the only cure, a long-buried treasure with magical powers. The search takes them to the remote Black Mountain, where cave bears roam the slopes and ogres guard the sacred flame.

The friends soon discover that they are not the only ones looking for the lost hoard. But fighting monsters is just the beginning for Tibor, who discovers something else long buried beneath the mountain - something far more powerful than any gold or jewels. For who will dare reveal the secrets of the Midnight Treasure?

In this spectacular, irresistible treasure hunt there will be clues, spells, imprisonments and escapes, fights, betrayals ... but above all there will be courage and hope. ©2024 Piers Torday

Critic Reviews

[a] bold and ambitious gothic fantasy. Its refusal to talk down to young readers while delivering a good old-fashioned highbrow quest might invite comparison with Philip Pullman's Northern Lights trilogy or Impossible Creatures by Katherine Rundell. But really Midnight Treasure feels like The Hobbit- with extra fangs and fur... The writing is terrific and Torday has a talent for cliff-hangers... Enchanting.
Midnight Treasure is a classy take on the vampire and werewolf genres that dives into the myths of Torday's Transylvanian heritage.
[a] clever adventure... writerly and skilled.
Midnight Treasure is an epic fantasy adventure that will have readers gripped from the very first page. This is a story of trust, truth and what it means to be mortal. With stunning world building, unforgettable characters and a quest with the highest of stakes, this is story not to be missed.
Vampires and werewolves abound in this deliciously spooky fantasy that will have brave children reading long into the night. (Marianne Levy)
