Taylor Montclair is a regular girl from the quiet backwater of Woodbury, England.

Sacha Winters is a darkly mysterious boy from the City of Lights – Paris, France.

While Taylor’s focussed on her dream of attending Oxford University, school couldn’t be further from Sacha’s mind . . .

Sacha knows exactly when he’s going to die. Because he’s done it before.

On the appointed day, Sacha’s time will run out. And his death will fulfil an ancient destiny that could unleash chaos and catastrophe.

Taylor is the only person who can save him.

Neither of them knows that yet.

Because they haven’t even met.

Hundreds of miles and a body of water separate them.

Deadly forces will stop at nothing to keep them apart.

They have eight weeks to find each other and unravel an ancient web of mystery and danger.

The clock starts NOW.

And check out the brilliant trailer!

Locked away inside the fortified walls of Oxford’s St Wilfred’s College, surrounded by alchemists sworn to protect them, Taylor and Sacha are safe from the Darkness. For now.

But time is short. In seven days Sacha will turn 18, and the ancient curse that once made him invincible will kill him, unleashing unimaginable demonic horror upon the world.

There is one way to stop it.

Taylor and Sacha must go to where the curse was first cast – the medieval French city of Carcassonne – and face the demons.

The journey will be dangerous. And monsters are waiting for them.

But as Darkness descends on Oxford, their choice is stark. They must face everything that scares them, or lose everything they love.

Check out the brilliant creepy trailer here!

A former crime reporter, political writer and investigative journalist, I was born in Texas but have lived in England for many years. I’ve never done anything much for a living except write. My first professional articles were published while I was still a college student when I took jobs writing freelance for tiny Texas weekly newspapers at $35 a story.

Straight out of university I worked as a crime reporter for several US newspapers, including the Savannah Morning News and the Baton Rouge State Times. After that, I worked in New Orleans as an investigative journalist for publications including the Dallas Morning News and Reuters. I won numerous awards for my reporting on corruption and crime.

Later, I moved to London, where I worked as an editor for various publishers.

There was even a time when I worked for the British government. But that’s another story.
