The Prophecy Fulfilled: Whispers in the Park

Releasing 12th November 2026; The spellbinding conclusion to Emmanuel and Olympia Olympitis’s beloved series – and its most thrilling chapter yet.

With Christmas past and winter still gripping the royal park, a deadly new threat emerges at St James’s School for Squirrels. A sinister plot is set in motion to destroy the ancient oak tree that has sheltered the school for centuries – and to scatter its inhabitants forever. As powerful enemies close in, Headmaster Horatio Hoyland faces the greatest crisis of his long tenure.

For young red squirrel Rufus and his friends, the time for mischief is over. Now comes the time to fight. As the ancient prophecy draws closer to fulfilment, unlikely allies step out of the shadows – and Rufus must confront the true weight of his destiny.

The fate of an entire way of life hangs in the balance – and the prophecy’s true meaning may not be what it first seemed.

Warm, witty and bursting with heart, Whispers in the Park: The Prophecy Fulfilled is a triumphant finale – perfect for fans of The Wind in the Willows, Redwall and The Last Wild - and a stirring celebration of loyalty, courage and friendship in the face of overwhelming odds.

Emmanuel Olympitis is an Anglo-Greek businessman who has held many public company directorships during his career. He is also the author of critically acclaimed By Victories Undone and Marked Cards. The Prophecy Fulfilled is the third book of his series for children, Whispers in the Park.
