Caiden and Sam find themselves trapped and alone in a vast warehouse with a soul-feeding demon in this hair-raising horror from bestselling and award-winning author Jennifer Killick.

Caiden and his best friend Sam are used to coming across some pretty weird stuff while helping Caiden’s dad in his house-clearing business. But they’ve never seen anything like the grotesque mounted heads of bizarre, other-worldly creatures they find in what was Sasha Kinski’s home. It’s clear that something awful has happened here, and it’s not over yet …

Alone at the company warehouse that evening, the boys make the terrifying discovery that they have brought an uninvited evil passenger back with them from Miss Kinski’s house.

With their very souls in peril, can Caiden and Sam unravel the mystery in time to save themselves …?

Particularly suitable for readers aged 9+ with a reading age of 8.

Imagine living in a world of permanent winter – summer has gone and nothing will bring it back. Main character Quill was named so because people used to write with feathers called Quills and his family knew that he would go on to write his own story. You can’t give in to ‘darkness and despair’, which is what Quill wanted to do time after time – he didn’t feel strong enough or worthy enough. Just when he thought the Light of the World was within his grasp, it soon vanished, leaving him to come face to face with the man who murdered his father and kept his mother hidden from him. How will he end this fight? Who will stand by his side on the battlefield? Can he really bring back the summer? This story is the start of something special and will have readers awaiting the next in the series.
