Edward Pollock lives an ordinary life at his ordinary boarding school, where the food is bad and the teachers are way too serious. But one day he’s inexplicably drawn to a strange and powerful book, and suddenly the boarding school isn’t quite so ordinary anymore. Capable of boosting men to heroism or destroying them in malice and evil, The Other Book has laid dormant for 400 years, waiting for someone to restore it to its original glory. While Edward must do his best to keep The Other book safe, a mysterious new teacher at the school becomes intent of getting a hold of the Book for her own sinister purposes. This dark and thrilling new fantasy takes a look at what happens when bad people control the forces of magic.
Long centuries ago The Other Book was given into the charge of the de la Zouche family, descendants of the wizard Merlin and the witch Vivien. It was an extraordinary bookpowerful beyond imaginationand one that held the creatures of the Other World at bay. It was to be used to influence history and to bring about the greater glory of mankind, but the book was tainted by one who should have used it for good. "Your father has corrupted it. He has sown a seed of evil. It will take four centuries to leach out..." For four hundred years, The Other Book remained hidden. Now the time has come for it to be restored to the glory of its past and to its rightful heir. But who is the rightful heir? Is it ordinary school boy, Edward Pollock, who finds the book on a dusty library shelf? Or is it Lady Anne, the sinister newly hired teacher, who is willing to kill to have the book in her grasp, and who is the maiden whose blood "must surely be spilled for the source of evil to be truly killed?" The interestingif muddledplot, violence enough to satisfy the bloodthirsty (particularly in the beginning), and an ending with a few surprises, are sure to satisfy readers who enjoy dark boarding school fantasies with hints of an Arthurian quest.
