The Prison Kingdom is one of the later Beast Quest sub-series, with four books from the original 2008 run and four newer titles added between 2020 and 2021. The series follows Tom, the brave young hero of Avantia, as he battles a fresh roster of magical beasts threatening the kingdom.
The beasts in this collection span a wide range of terrifying creatures. Akorta the All-Seeing Ape brings a primate menace with an almost supernatural awareness, while Vipero the Snake Man and Arachnid the Spider King add a reptilian and arachnid threat to the mix. Trillion the Three-headed Lion rounds out the classic entries with sheer overwhelming force.
Younger readers who have followed Tom’s adventures through earlier Beast Quest series will find the same fast-paced structure here – each book builds to a showdown with a single beast, giving the series a satisfying rhythm that works well for early chapter book readers.
