The Secret City
The follow up to the mesmerizing The Secret Fire
Welcome to alchemy, where even the books will kill you
In St Wilfred’s College Oxford, home of alchemists, Taylor and Sacha are together and safe from the Dark practitioner’s demonic forces – for now.
But in just three weeks’ time Sacha will turn eighteen, and the ancient curse that made him invincible will finally kill him once and for all.
Only Taylor can save him. They just have to figure out how. With the help of their friends Louisa and Alastair, they must go back to where the curse was first cast: the medieval city of Carcassonne.
The journey is fraught with danger.
And the destination is their destiny.
Because this will be the battle of a thousand lifetimes, and Taylor and Sacha might change the world... if history doesn’t kill them first.
