The Chimera's Curse
The Chimera's Curse
The final installment in the Companions Quartet, "The Chimera's Curse".
‘How shall we kill the Universal?’ asked the serpent, its tongue flickering between its teeth. ‘Bite, burn or venom?’
Connie is the world’s last Universal – the only person who can communicate with all creatures; the only person who can keep peace between humans and the hidden mythical beings being destroyed by pollution.
But the shapeshifter Kullervo craves her power. He wants to wipe out humanity.
During a long, hot summer, as the sun beats down and the earth gets dryer, Kullervo prepares for war. The serpent-like chimera is just one part of his frightening army. As the inferno of Kullervo’s hatred crackles into life, Connie and her best friend Col must stop him. But how? And who will survive this fight to the death?

What 3 creatures was the Chimera made of? I forgot and was curious. Where could i find a list of all the mythical creatures in your book, with a little description? Please e-mail me.
Lion, goat and snake.

Hi Julia!I love your books!!!I was wondering if you could make a Companions Quartet part 2. 'Cause it just got to another good part!!!(Yay!) I read the sample chapter of Water Thief, it's still really good but could you do all the Companions Quartet fans a HUGE favour?!?!?! Please write another book about Connie and Col and possibly another threat!
Working on new fantasy series just at the moment.

This book is the best one yet! But I just wish you went into more detail about Connie and Col. I still love it though! I really wish you didn't end it on only FOUR books! :( (You can't see it, but I'm pouting!) When I got this book from the libary I was screaming inside and jumping up and down. I wish I had my own money so I could by all the books! But i can't because I don't have any money and my parents won't buy it for me.:( (I'm pouting again.) But I'm still hoping for them.

I have now read the whole series, and even though I'm not much for fantasy, I enjoyed it. Now I can't wait to read the Universal Companions series!

Is Chartmouth a real place in Hescombe? If so where is it?
Not real but if it was it would be near Exmouth.

Yes, the Nook is American I believe. Sadly, I can't get all of the Cat Royal books because I'm in America, which is horrible because those books are so cool! I LOVE your writing style and the covers you get for your books are so pretty!
Have you tried via an online supplier (eg Canada Amazon)? Julia

Question about water thief. Will it be released for the NOOK? I LOVE the companion quartet and was dissapointed when Kullervo "died" because he was a cool character but it was a good way to end the series. So is it coming for nook? I cant get water thief unless it does and i NEED that book.
I'll look into that format - its an American one isn't it?

Hi Julia, I am a big fan! I just noticed that you have put up the name of the next series, Dark Spies sounds amazing! I have a few questions: 1)Is it still the same idea as the Companions Quartet? 2)If so, will Connie and Col be in it much (cause its cute that there going out!)? 3)How much later on will it be compared to the original series I love these books, Eilidh P.S. I was just wondering if you answer the questions personally, if so I'm sorry for interrupting you ;-)
Hi No it isn't the same - you'll see when the page goes up. You can find out more about the characters from the Companions in Water Thief - I'll do this as an ebook soon. If you send me your email, I'll alert you when this is available. Julia
