When the comet hit, North and South America were destroyed. The mighty Mississippi evaporated, the streets of New York melted, and the Amazon forest burnt to ash.

It was only the beginning.

A century later, Amaryllis Storm is a sniper in a rebel army in a ravaged world overrun by terrifying howlers. Sent deep into enemy territory, she must hunt them down and stop them destroying what's left of her planet.

When she's ordered to report to Rebel HQ, aka 'The Nest', she discovers there's a secret hidden there. The secret to who she is and where she's from. The problem is the secret's on Level Seven.

There is no Level Seven.

'POTENT. GRIPPING. A JAW-DROPPING SHOCKER' Bookworm

'The Bewitcher is sly. Cunning. He's not the knight, sword in fist, charging the enemy. No, no, he's the whisperer, inciting men to do terrible things. He tells them when to kill. And who.'

It is 1666 and the Derbyshire village of Eyam is being savaged by a terrible plague.

By night, a crazed murderer prowls the dusty streets, the only hint as to why, a jagged cross cut into the victims' chests.

Trapped in a dying village, Reverend Mompesson must unravel the mystery and stop the killer or risk the villagers fleeing, carrying the sickness to every corner of England.

Nobody can go in. Nobody can go out. IT IS COMING

WINNER OF THE UK PEOPLE'S BOOK PRIZE, 2014

My name is Simon Spittle and I think - no, I know, I murdered Miss Belcher. I don't carry a gun. Or a knife. Or even a toothpick, but yesterday, in French, I wished for her to be run over by a bus and, later that very day, she was. A big, red double-decker with yellow wheels and a picture of a clown on the bonnet. A Billy Smart's Circus bus.

My name is Tiffany Sparrow and my job is to slay spooks. It can be messy work, but I enjoy it. Mostly. I get to do a lot of travelling which is fun, but often just to crumbling tombs and spidery cellars. My mum was a slayer too; and so was my grandmother. I miss them terribly. They were killed, you see, by Grimdorf the warlock, so now there's only me and my old grandad left.

But the word on Voodoo Street is...Grimdorf's back.

And he's brought a few of his pals with him.

It was night, the bats in the rafters awake and watchful. But all seemed still, most of the monsters asleep or on sentry duty by the bookshop door. But not everything slept. Hidden in the deepest corner of The Wishing Shelf, over a hundred books had gathered, answering the call to arms.

The 'Witch Spotter's' book, perched on a top shelf, hushed them. 'Brothers and sisters," she whispered, "wickedness has invaded our home. Queen Blasthoof is slowly destroying our papery world, but not for much longer for soon we will stop her.'
