'Atmospheric and gripping debut' The Times 'A cracking story that races to a strong climax' Daily Telegraph

Hardcover
edition.
Book Description
A chance encounter on the snowy slopes of a castle moat throws together three lonely teenagers: Emily, Simon, and the highly enigmatic Marcus, who is the catalyst for all that follows. At first the castle`s ruins are merely the backdrop to a day in the snow. But when the three break into the forbidden interior of the keep, they find the castle taking on a different and deeper meaning. Despite the freezing conditions, they spend the night there, to experience the power of occupation. But when the re-enactment gets out of control and a very real siege ensues, their playful dare soon turns into a frenzy of nightmarish action.

his other books are so much better, May 21 2009

This review is from: The Last Siege (Paperback)
After reading Bartimeus and Heroes of the Valley, i expected this book to be compelling, readable, and good.It's not.
The characters are flimsy and inconsistent. There isn't much of a story at all. The descriptions are lacking. There are basically no redeeming qualities.
I shudder to think that anyone might pick up this novel, and based on the poor quality, never read Bartimeus.
