Synopses

Gregor the Overlander

Gregor falls into the Underland, where humans live in uneasy coexistence with spiders, rats and giant cockroaches. With war looming, his arrival is connected to events he cannot ignore. He resists involvement until he believes it may be the only way to learn what happened to his father.

Gregor and the Prophecy of Bane

Reports from spies point to a Rat King in the Underland, a legendary figure marked by immense size and a snow-white coat. Said to be destined to bring world war, the creature becomes a threat Gregor must face. When he cannot kill it, he is left to deal with the consequences of that decision.

Gregor and the Curse of the Warmbloods

Gregor and Boots return to help stop a rapidly spreading plague. When the illness affects one of Gregor’s family, he begins to understand his place in the Prophecy of Blood. He must find the strength to end biological warfare that threatens every warmblooded creature.

Gregor and the Marks of Secret

Months after his last return, Gregor’s mother remains in the Underland to recover from the plague. Despite updates on her condition, Gregor believes he must go back to fulfil his role as the warrior vital to the Underlanders’ survival. With Boots, Luxa and Ripred, he defends the Underlanders and the vulnerable “Nibblers” from the rat army.

Gregor and the Code of the Claw

In the concluding volume, the Underlanders attempt to keep the Prophecy of Time from Gregor. He discovers it calls for the warrior’s death as an army of rats approaches and his mother and sister are still in Regalia. With time running out, Gregor must help defend Regalia, bring his family home and crack a code as the war reaches its end.
