A suspenseful teen fantasy about young love, dark mystery and magic

‘Philip Womack is a writer of huge talent’ Daily Telegraph

Something is menacing Mundham Farm. Does it come from outside – or within?

Who or what are the Samdhya, the supernatural people described in the old handwritten diaries Tom finds in his uncle’s house?

As Tom starts to uncover the truth and learn new details about his parents' death, he is confronted with a stark choice: on the one hand, infinite power; on the other, freedom. Which will he choose?

'I really enjoyed the imaginative magic system and setting. It’s very mystical and mysterious!'

'I really enjoyed the worldbuilding in this book. I enjoyed exploring this place just as much as Tom did. There were secrets and twists to discover around every corner. I enjoyed the mysteries as well. I think the best part of the book was the relationships forged between the characters. I also thought the addition of the dialects spoken by the characters lent a great authenticity to the characters ... Great read for fantasy and mystery fans!'
