Siege: Book 6 in the Kings Keep Series

Graeme Butz is a former high school teacher and community worker who lives in the Blue Mountains near Sydney, Australia. He spends much of his time working on his bush garden, reading, listening to music, visiting Op Shops, writing the next book, and talking to his ‘visitors’ (parrots, wallabies, lizards and snakes). Occasionally he spends time beachcombing on the New South Wales south coast, and helping with reading support groups in local schools. Written while still a teacher, the Kings Keep series—its characters, events, and narrative—were all extensively piloted on junior high school students (and underwent serious revision) to ensure language- and content-appropriate plot and text for the target age group.
