Synopsis

The four pillars supporting life in the Turtle Realm: fire, wind, water and thunder are under threat from General Uro's army. Mel and her guardian Ruka remain imprisoned in the castle of Captain Acidulous. In their quest to rescue Mel and protect the pillars, Naomi, Doug, and Jim, warriors of Blue Star, must dive deep into the Oritsa Ocean to join forces with the Aqami people who live there. In this exciting 4th episode of Vermonia, the tribes of the Turtle Realm, led by the Blue Star Warriors, confront Uro's dark Yami magic in two epic battles. Meanwhile Mel struggles to keep a part of her spirit free to receive Ruka's gifts of prophecy and to use this knowledge to the best of her ability. The opposing forces that ultimately destroyed Vermonia now endanger The Turtle Realm. Can Queen Frasinella's chosen warriors prevent another tragedy?

Review

In Vermonia 4: The Rukan Prophecy the pace is pretty much supersonic, and gallops along at such a pace, that I was quite shocked to realise that I'd actually come to the end of the book! The story line is brilliant and utterly absorbing - the graphics very clear and easy to read - even if it back to front and right to left. I loved it and highly recommend it - the YoYo artists are doing an excellent job both graphically and story wise.
