'A dark, mysterious, adrenaline-pumping, rollercoaster of a story. You won't be able to stop reading!' -- Kieran Larwood, author of The Five Realms 'It's taken everything I loved from the first book and turned it up to eleven. Clever, funny, exciting and occasionally downright nasty - terrific stuff!' -- Alastair Chisholm, author of Orion Lost 'A brilliant sequel... I love how this series moves so confidently through some truly unsettling places...without sacrificing plot or pace.' -- Jennifer Killick, author of Crater Lake 'Car chases and wrecks, sudden attacks, desperate battles, weird visions...Breathlessly paced adventure with rousingly eerie and icky notes.' * Kirkus * 'Damien has a fabulous imagination, these books are truly unique in plot. They are both high action, great pace and full of peril to ensure those pages just keep on turning... Very happy to recommend both of these books for aged 9 to 109 year olds.' -- Independent Book Reviews 'Alex and his granddad's next breathtaking adventure is set in a magical and mysterious corner of Europe... a superbly assured sequel where detailed settings, a clever plot, and cliffhanging action combine in an unforgettable read. At 400 pages, it's epic and all-consuming. Car chases, thrilling attacks, desperate escapes, and otherworldly magic will draw you into this roller coaster of a story... Highly recommended.' -- South China Morning Post
