A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Joseph Delaney is a retired English teacher. He has three children and nine grandchildren and is a wonderful public speaker available for conference, library and bookshop events. His home is in the middle of Boggart territory and his village has a boggart called the Hall Knocker, which was laid to rest under the step of a house near the church.

Most of the places in the Spook's books are based on real places in Lancashire. And the inspiration behind the stories often comes from local ghost stories and legends.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Welcome to Arena 13.

Here warriors fight.

Death is never far away.

In the notorious Arena 13, punters place wagers on which fighter will draw first blood. And in grudge matches, they bet on which fighter is to die.

But the country is terrorized by the creature Hob, an evil being who delights in torturing its people, displaying his devastating power by challenging an Arena 13 combatant in a fight to the death whenever he chooses.

And this is exactly what Leif wants . . .

For he knows well Hob's crimes. And at the heart of his ambition burns the desire for vengeance. Leif is going to take on the monster who destroyed his family.

Even if it kills him.
