'Even hidden in paradise, Tamsyn's fate is a dark thread that leads to doom.

'When Tamsyn's past comes knocking, she is forced to leave everything behind. Death and chaos dog her as she returns to the ruins of England on a mission of redemption. Discovering the conspiracy behind the zombie outbreak, Tamsyn learns the bizarre truth about who she really is. As she falls into a strange new responsibility, the zombies become the least of her problems.

'Faced with a dangerous new enemy, Tamsyn can only do what she does best - dig in her heels and give 'em hell.' (Publication summary) 

'Can the Devil be any less trustworthy than a record executive?

'Young guitar virtuoso Clarice Marnier is on the verge of success when she crosses the wrong A&R man. Suddenly, instead of being signed to the major label that has been courting her, she finds herself blacklisted across the industry.

'So Clarice makes a different kind of deal with the Devil; one that will give her a second chance at the expense of the enemy who cost her the first one.

'Soon Clarice and her band, Bloody Waters, are on their way to stardom... but it's not an easy road. Clarice feuds with a disgruntled diva; busybody Wiccans lay a curse on the band; a has-been guitar hero wants to compete for the 'Guitar Mojo'; a succubus popstar wants Clarice to play on her record. And then things really start to get dangerous.

'Cracking the Top 10 is one thing; gunfights with the Vatican Mafia and magical duels with a killer DJ are quite another.

'Sooner or later Clarice is going to have to confront the Devil himself - the only question is whether she'll be alive or dead when it happens.' (Publisher's blurb)

'In Gravesend, the dead walk, and the living huddle behind high walls. For Tamsyn, the end of the world couldn't come sooner. She's hungry and scared. Her homework is due. Even worse, her dad is the teacher. With only her keen archery skills to keep the zombies at bay, Tamsyn searches the ruins of England for an answer. There's a cure in America, but it might just doom them all…'

'On a mountain that does not exist, there is a school where they teach the impossible.

'From his first day at the Academy, things have been difficult for Quay. Though he has surrendered his name, like every other acolyte at the magical school, Quay is the son of a disgraced professor, and he finds that his father’s old enemies are already lined up against him–while the professor’s own faction is just as suspicious. Quay refuses to take a side, but as his powers grow it becomes apparent that the damaged young boy may prove a greater threat than his father ever was.

'Deep in the Library of Shadows Quay finds a way to survive his father’s treacherous legacy, but the price is high indeed.'
