Book description
My name is Slither, and before my tale is finished, you'll find
out why . . .
Slither is not human. Far from the Spook-protected County, he preys
upon humans, sneaking into their homes to gorge upon their blood while
they sleep.
When a local farmer dies, it's only natural that Slither should want
to feast on his lovely daughters. But the farmer has offered him a
trade: in return for taking the younger girls to safety, Slither can
have the eldest daughter, Nessa, to do with as he wishes . . .
Slither's promise takes him and Nessa on a treacherous journey where
enemies await at every turn. Enemies that include Grimalkin, the
terrifying witch assassin, still searching for a way to destroy the
Fiend for good.
The latest instalment of the Wardstone Chronicles, t
he series that inspired the forthcoming movie The Seventh Son,
starring
Jeff Bridges, Ben Barnes and Julianne Moore.
Joseph Delaney lives in Lancashire and has three children and eight
