Description
'I have me a prophet boy, an oracle beyond oracles...The secrets of the universe are lodged between his cabbage ears...'London is living through dark times and Magnus Malachi, a magician, is closely guarding his latest moneyspinner - Tersias, a blind boy who can see into the future. But as Tersias's powers become known, others who seek to use them are drawn from the shadows: Jonah, a teenage highwayman, and his companion in crime Tara, Solomon, a crazed zealot, who has bred a new species of giant flesh-eating locusts; and Lord Malpas, a keeper of mysterious powers.
They all seek Tersias - but is he a force for good or evil? And can he ever rid himself of the dark spirit that torments his soul?
A gripping adventure of night chases, double-crossings and weird magic from the author of Shadowmancer and Wormwood. ISBN:9780571221530
