Raven's Gate: The Power of Five Book 1

By Anthony Horowitz

A sinister story of the supernatural; first of five in a thrilling new series by this number one best-selling author.

Matt has always known he has unusual powers. Raised in foster care, he is sent to rural Yorkshire on a rehabilitation programme, only to find himself in the midst of sinister goings-on. Matt decides to investigate and uncovers a terrible secret - eight guardians are protecting the world from the evil ones, beings banished long ago by five children. But devil worshippers want to let the evil ones back in. As the novel reaches its climax, it looks like Matt has succeeded in stopping them - or has he?

Review

"Crackling with tension, this story is sinister, scary and very hard to put down...if Raven's Gate is anything to go by, I'd say this series promises to be an absolute corker." The Sunday Tasmanian
