"Angels are immortal..."
Three ancient races... three powerful artefacts, with the power to destroy the Earth.
When a dormant volcano explodes in Edinburgh, a thousand year old secret is revealed. As a clandestine group within the British government races against time to investigate, three young people become embroiled in a dangerous quest - one which will change their lives forever.
But how can Kay, Tom and Alex save the world when they don't even know which side they are on?
Set in Edinburgh, Cornwall and London, The Last Angel is a contemporary sci-fi adventure steeped in centuries old legends. It's aimed at readers of 11 and up - or anyone who thinks a story that includes a lost sword, half-human wraiths and the possible end of the world sounds like a good read.
“I found The Last Angel gripping – I couldn’t put it down. I liked how it was based in the modern world but interwoven with ancient myths. The lead character was great but the bad guys were also really good – I was impressed by how they were not as they originally seemed. The combination of swords, fights, epic powers and underground tunnels was all very exciting – the plot was very clever! I liked how backstories were created for lots of famous British landmarks, and was impressed by all the effort that went into a parallel world tying into ancient biblical texts. The book really stayed with me while I was reading it, and I wanted to read a sequel straight away afterwards.” – L, aged 11, London
