The second instalment in this hilarious and exciting fantasy sequence from a fresh new talent.
A terrible sect has arisen is Dullitch: they're dark, they're deadly and they're even more hell bent on the destruction of the city than the citizens themselves. All that stands between total chaos and the return of the dark gods are Duke Modeset (who doesn't like the place anyway), Jereth Obegarde (a vampire on his Mother's side) and Jimmy Quickstint (who is about to do the WRONG favour for the WRONG man). This is a thrilling story of darkness and destiny, where the brave ......more |

Synopsis
There he was, below the bridge, half-naked, eyes blazing. He had a pair of burning torches. He ran them back and forth across his skin. He sipped from a bottle, breathed across a torch, and fire and furnes leapt from his lips. The air was filled with the scent of paraffin. He breathed again, a great high spreading flag of fire.

His new school is a cold and cruel place. And worse: nuclear bombs are being tested. Is World War III about ......more |
