SeaStar Books (USA) The Deptford Mice is a trilogy of children's dark fantasy novels by British author Robin Jarvis.

The trilogy tells the story of a young mouse girl named Audrey Brown and her friends as they fight Jupiter, the evil living god of the sewer rats in the London borough of Deptford.

In the final book of the trilogy, Jupiter returns in spectral form, vowing revenge on the mice who destroyed his mortal body.

Worse still, their ally the Starwife has had her realm destroyed and her magical Starglass stolen by Jupiter, who plans to use it to blot out the sun and bring an end to all life on earth.

It describes the fictional traditions and lore of the animal characters, as well as events taking place ten years after The Deptford Mice trilogy.

All I can say about it is that the peril-o-meter will be in the red zone all the way, so expect lots of desperate battles and more than a few tears, because at long last, after all these years of imprisonment, the evil Lord Hobb is back.
