Set on a dangerous path into the dark heart of Orville, Jessica is confronted with horror at every turn, and when witch hunter Matthew Bone arrives in the village, Jessica herself is targeted, with chilling consequences…Set in the same world as the gripping Sentinel Trilogy, this fast-paced prequel delves into a world where magic can be deadly.Praise for The Sentinel Trilogy‘A wild ride’ – SciFiNow‘A sort of Buffy meets Shadowhunters meets Morse!
