This title introduces the eagerly anticipated third novel from G P Taylor. His second novel, "Wormwood", and his first, "Shadowmancer", hailed by the "Times" as the "biggest event in children's fiction since "Harry Potter"", were instant bestsellers. London is living through one of its darkest times - a comet has just missed the Earth, leaving the city in chaos and the people fearing an apocalypse. Tersias, a blind boy oracle, has predicted the comet and sees visions of the future through the darkness. As Tersias' powers strengthen, people who seek to use them are drawn from the shadows; Malachi, a charlatan magician, Jonah, a desperate highwayman and Lord Malpas, a keeper of mysterious powers. But none of them are aware of a much darker force that torments Tersias' soul...This is a gripping tale of intrigue and sorcery set in a richly atmospheric London.

About the Author:
GP Taylor lives in the shadows of a medieval castle and the rugged North Yorkshire Moors overlooking the cold Oceanus Germanicus. He has spent most of his life in search of the eternal truths and finally believes he has found the reason why he inhabits a tiny space on this planet. In his spare time he enjoys looking at the stars and eating at the Ivy. If anyone is so bold as to ever want to contact him he can be emailed at shadowmancer@btopenworld.com GP Taylor apologises that as he was born in 1762, he has a pathological dislike for telephones and can only write with a quill pen. He is a friend of Charlemagne and during the Boer War worked as a stage hand at the London Palladium.
