Book description
Having tapped into the Crow, the Order's legendary powerhouse, Galen is
charged with a force beyond anything he, or his apprentice, Raffi have
ever known. And when, during the ritual ceremony on the night of
Flainsdeath, Galen receives a message from the makers urging him to find
the Interrex - the child of the last great Emperor - Galen knows that
the Keepers are tantalisingly close to the brink of a revolution.
Meanwhile, Gary is struggling to come to terms with her past, her
identity and the mystery of how she became a member of the Watch. Born

International Poetry Competition 1989 and the Tir na n'Og Prize 1995,
and she was shortlisted for the Smarties Book Prize in 1990. Darkhenge
has been long listed for the Carnegie Medal.
