Book description
Fifteen-year-old Billi SanGreal never meant to make history. Dragged
at the age of ten into the modern-day Knights Templar by her father,
the Grandmaster, Billi's the first girl ever to be a Templar warrior.
Her life is a rigorous and brutal round of weapons' practice, demon
killing and occult lore - and a lot of bruises.
But then temptation is placed in Billi's path - an alternative to
her isolated life. But temptation brings consequences. In this case -
the tenth plague - the death of all first borns and so Billi must
choose her destiny. And as she soon discovers, death isn't even the
worst . . .
Sarwat Chadda is an exciting new author to the Puffin list. He was

in 2008 with an early draft of
Devil's Kiss
. He was brought up a Muslim and is married to a vicar's daughter - his
writing reflects both these elements. Sarwat lives in London.
