A propos du livre

Revue de presse

SHOUT - A Superb Book!... TAKE A BREAK - A Gripping Read!.... SUGAR - Fantastic!.... MIZZ - Simply Magic!.... TV HITS - A Beautifully Crafted Adventure!.... PICK ME UP - A Fantastic World!.... THAT'S LIFE - Fun And Mystical!.... GIRL - A Thrilling Read, Read It!.... FIRST NEWS - A Gripping Page Turner! FROM THE PUBLISHER - The third book from the author of The Guardian Of Time and The Odessa Stone sees the style, humour and general madness of the first two books continue with a manic tale set in Russia, London, and Budapest. Those familiar with the previous two books will spot important cameo appearances by Linda (plus that strange cat, and maybe Avalon), Andie and Lord Bagshaw - but the order you might read these novels in is entirely up to you. One way or another, the lead characters of these books all know each other and the tales take place during the same time of the same year, but none of those involved have any idea what the others have been up to - that comes a couple of stories further down the line, when they are all brought together one summer day... This story has all the danger, weirdos, bad guys and fun that you would expect, but there is a far stronger romantic side underpinning this tale - Nick is about as hopeless as Bob from The Guardian Of Time in a strangely surprising number of ways, that being just one of them - but it is all a question of what the lead characters, Nick and Natalie, would go through for each other, give up for each other, and ultimately want for each other. And if there happens to be a few murders, death-defying risks, insane plans, attempted assassinations, strange food, large beards and constant danger along the way, then so be it. Life and love were never meant to be simple, were they? --From The Publisher & Magazines

Présentation de l'éditeur

At 15, life becomes very strange for Nick Balmoral-Werkes. Not only is he haunted by the ghostly appearances of a friend who changed schools a few months earlier, but his lifelong closest friend, confidante and secret love, Natalie, dies suddenly from a mystery illness... and he starts finding messages left by her in the kind of places where only he would look. Her loss turns his world upside down - not simply because she was the only other person who knew of his miraculous gift of healing, but because her sinister relatives hurl him into a dark and ruthless world, one where his life hangs by a thread and danger lurks in every shadow. He soon finds that his future lies buried deep in the past, where nothing is as it seems, no-one can be trusted, and the person who may have betrayed him the most is the one who means more to him than life itself. With an unlikely group of friends Nick steps between times to try and save the love of his life, unravel the secrets of his own existence, bring down a ruthless dynasty and destroy the evil world built around him... but to do so means finding out how high the price of love can be - and if it is one he is prepared to pay.
