The Curse of the Spider-riders

Fantasy author, M. Dane's children's fantasy book The Curse of the Spider-riders

In the mesmerizing world of The Curse of the Spider-riders, fantasy and reality intertwine, proving that even the most outlandish stories can come true.

​

Meet Jakoby, a fearless orphan with a cheeky spirit and a yearning for a family of his own. He believed life was rarely fair and things like faeries, monsters, and talkative rodents were merely figments of folklore. But life throws him a curveball when he's whisked away by a sassy talking squirrel, captured by wasp-mounted faeries, and held captive high above an otherworldly magical forest.

​

Now, Jakoby isn’t merely living in a fantastical tale, he is the tale. His heart-pounding journey pits him against enormous slugs with a taste for liquefied humans, puts him on the back of a colossal rhinoceros beetle, and throws him into the heart of a battle against terrifying spider-riders. It's a far cry from the dull life he once knew at the orphanage, and a whole lot more dangerous.

​

Yet amidst the chaos and danger, Jakoby discovers an important truth: families come in all shapes and sizes—and some, surprisingly, dwell within faerie hives. Can he break the curse of the spider-riders, save his newfound family, and find the place where he truly belongs?

​

The Curse of the Spider-riders is an enthralling middle-grade adventure that delves into the magic of friendship, the courage it takes to face our deepest fears, and the unexpected places we find family. Step into Jakoby's shoes and discover a world where impossibility is just another word for magic.
