Greetings, travelers. In our journeys through the Otherworld we find its most wondrous corners are those where imagination itself seems to grow wild and untamed. Today, our path leads us into the magical realm of the Tixie Chronicles, where courage is measured by strength of heart. If that has you intrigued, read on to learn more about The Plant of Death.
Author Jack Borden returns to the world that has captured the hearts of readers young and old with the fifth book in his series, The Plant of Death (The Tixie Chronicles Book 5). He delivers another vibrant chapter in a series defined by wonder, bravery, and boundless creativity. Borden has a rare gift for storytelling that bridges generations. His work balances the whimsy and discovery that captivate young readers with the emotional depth and sophistication that keep adults turning the pages late into the night. Within his worlds, every detail feels alive: forests breathe, rivers whisper, and even the smallest creatures are granted immense purpose. The Tixies, as imagined by Borden, embody that sense of quiet heroism that calls back to the great timeless fantasies. Even so, his voice remains fresh, energetic, and distinctly his own.
“Writing for younger readers without ever simplifying his themes, Borden allows the story’s moral weight to emerge organically. His prose is elegant and deliberate, balancing menace with tenderness. Beneath all the action, however, lies a deep emotional core—of loyalty, fear, and quiet redemption.” – The Prairie Book Review (10/15/25)
An evil that doesn’t sleep.
From the black blood of the lizard king Balor, a seed has taken root. Deep in Anwin, it grows into something twisted and deadly — a plant of unspeakable power.
Avelyn and Killian Lorcan, armed with the Sword of Light, must journey once more into danger alongside their father and their fierce friend Branwen. But as betrayal festers inside Anwin and prophecy calls Branwen to a destiny she cannot escape, the heroes find themselves battling not only the monstrous plant, but the very tixies sworn to protect it.
Exile. Secrets. A rising darkness.
Can courage and friendship triumph before Anwin – and the world itself – is consumed?
The Plant of Death delivers a thrilling new chapter in the beloved Tixie Chronicles.
The Tixie Chronicles is a clean action adventure fantasy series for ages 10+. Perfect for fans of The Wingfeather Saga, The Green Ember series, The Chronicles of Narnia, or The Chronicles of Prydain.
With The Plant of Death, Borden continues to refine what makes his writing so beloved: lush worldbuilding, unforgettable friendships, and journeys that test not only the courage of his heroes but the compassion and wisdom that define them. His prose is rich with sensory detail. You can almost hear the rustle of enchanted leaves or the flutter of tiny wings. His imagination knows no bounds. It’s no wonder that readers have called his books “must-reads for fantasy lovers of all ages.” And grandparents and grandchildren alike have found themselves swept up in the same spell. Jack Borden doesn’t just tell stories. He builds worlds that feel both grand and intimate, magical and deeply human. Whether you’re returning to the Tixie Chronicles or discovering them for the first time, The Plant of Death promises another unforgettable adventure brimming with courage, heart, and wonder.
