After a massive battle with the witches and warlocks, things seem grim. Abel is dying, Ferryl Shayde has lost an arm, and both Kellis and Rob are covered in wounds. The Taverneers haven't exactly won. But sorcerer tethers spread the news of the battle across the magical world, and those in power start to reassess the Tavern. Now Abel's left scrambling on how to hide a heaven, get farther on this plant path, and claim his far-off foreign holdings. Not to mention figuring out how to deal with fresh waves of Tavern tourists. He's going to need a bigger team.

The Tavern is healing after Isabel, but Abel still can't solve the puzzle of the magical woodland walk, and until he does, he won't get any nearer the mysterious Gryphon at the centre of Castle House. At least a mystery something draining protection glyphs, and Rachel's campaign for a Life-spark companion, take his mind off his birthday and magical inheritance. Though he can't avoid it, and then the inheritance is like most things magical; huge, frightening, not quite what he expected and not totally under his control. Abel needs time and peace but a magical creature traps Kelis, one that ...

Pendragon is dead, and now Abel is thrust into the position of a true sorcerer, ruler of a demesne! It would help if he had any idea what that meant, apart from apparently having the power of life and death over the thousands of unsuspecting non-magicals living there. It's time for Abel to come clean, and tell the Tavern just who he is, and what his blood link means. The sorcerous and church communities know the Master of Castle House has claimed a demesne, now they want to find out more.

Abel’s new magical alliance brings him ever closer to the heart of Castle House. Barely surviving he and the Taverners finally realize what true intent, honed and concentrated, can accomplish. Elsewhere, an enemy hides from Creepio and God's SAS, and the game character sorceress K'liss becomes a reality. Jenny sets off to contact new Tavern hopefuls in Canada and finds a magical hornet nest. American history, the magical part, is nothing like the history books! Closer to home, Abel finally arranges an important meeting of sorcerers and fears the worst about the date, Halloween.

Behind, they leave a city where more and more are realizing the end game: annihilation. Their fate is clear as soldiers are taken away to assault the largest of the enclosures, London. Preparations are made, and both the London Committee and the Last Prophet have extreme methods of recruitment.

After the huge battle with a leech nest, Abel now has the key to Castle House, a big old house wreathed in lethal magic. But the key only opens the first door, leading him to the next clue. His friends want to help, but the house won't let them, and even the first puzzle needs sorcerer-level magic. Luckily, Abel has something up his sleeve or, rather, in his tattoo! Even so, he'll need another missing key, and a way through all the other doors before he can reach the mystery at the center and claim his heritage.

When 15-year-old Abel discovered Ferryl Shayde, the disembodied sorceress, and freed her from her 200 years trapped in a pit, he never bargained on finding out about magic. Though when she moved into his tattoo and began the lessons, it all seemed like a lot of fun for him and his friends. They even added just a little magic to the board game Abel and his two best friends were developing.

The pyres hold a third of Orchard Close's residents. Many are badly injured, and the General is still out there. Despite the damage, refugees still arrive, some of them providing a ray of hope.

Despite the global genocide and destruction, the Cabal are still trying to salvage their master plan for mankind. In the UK, that involves wiping out the last of the population trapped in the cities, those who don't fit into the new future. Inside the ruined cities, both peaceful and gang-dominated enclaves are beginning to realize time is running out. For some cities, it is already too late, but even a few dedicated survivors can be a serious setback for the Cabal. Elsewhere, the more violent use the reprieve to grow stronger.

Cuando Abel, de quince años, descubrió a Ferryl Shayde, la hechicera incorpórea, y la liberó de sus doscientos años atrapada en un pozo, nunca pensó que descubriría la magia. Aunque cuando se mudó a su tatuaje y comenzó las lecciones, todo pareció muy divertido para él y sus amigos. Incluso añadieron un poco de magia al juego de mesa que Abel y sus dos mejores amigos estaban desarrollando. Pero la magia está en todas partes y basta una insinuación para que algunos lancen su primer glifo. Un número creciente de jugadores beta, compañeros de estudios que prueban el juego, ...

The Cloud Runners live on a patch of grassland between the mountains and the desert. Many years ago, the Goddess created a path through the clouds to bring them here, fleeing death and destruction. With game in the grasslands and woodlands and safe from any enemies, the Cloud Runners prospered. Now overhunting has killed all the game, and foragers have stripped the woodland clean. It would seem the Goddess has turned her back on them, and as the last tribal treasures are traded away for food, starvation threatens. Jermyn, a youth of only ten and five years, is fed up with watery stew. ...
