Zak Turner - A Different Type of Darkness
eBook
(Balbardie Press July 10, 2020)
A Different Type of Darkness picks up where Fire and Flame left off - literally. The Cleft is in flames, the Georgian Greyback is brooding menacingly on the crag still hunting for her last egg, Orion Trell is still the bewitched headmaster of Mhonarr Castle School, and Zak, Tallion, and Steven are still hostages to fate as events spin them from one calamity to the next.
With the stage set and all the pieces in place, Anguilas Malchus is rapidly approaching his first endgame, and Mhonarr Castle is firmly in his sights. With no-one left to defend it, just a little nudge will push the centuries-old beacon of light into the abyss. As the light of Mhonarr fades, the one touchstone that unites the wizarding world as nothing else, the unity of his opponents will fade with it, and the world will plunge into darkness.
Total darkness.
Once-and-for-all darkness.
Darkness that nothing can stop.
Darkness that can never be rolled back.
Just one more step, one more hammer blow, one more foundation removed, and darkness will smother it all…
Yet fate still has a role to play. What some call chance, others see as the unfolding plan of the ages, and this all-powerful force hasn't yielded all to the dark, but for how long? What is the endgame?
With a new demonic foe revealed, the boys begin to realise that this battle is much bigger than defeating Malchus. Add in some drakes, some owls, the Irish army and some truly gruesome rituals, and you begin to see how dark the darkness really can be.
A Different Type of Darkness is the penultimate book in The Battle for Mhonarr quintilogy, with the final part due for publication in September 2020
