Shadow Spell

Simeon Dark is the most powerful sorcerer in the land of the Drift. Mysterious, cunning, a shape-shifter, only he can stop the evil Strood and save the Drift from dying. But where is he? Nin Redfern and her friends make their way to Dark's mansion -- a strange castle built in a tree -- where she finds a ribbon of shadowy light. Could this be a clue to unlock the mystery of Simeon Dark? Meanwhile, Mr. Strood is preparing his distillation machine, his pet tigers, and some barrels of blood and he's is coming after Nin . . . Caro King has created a funny, rich, thrilling adventure, interwoven with fantastical creatures, myth and magic.

Caro King was born in London and raised in Surrey, where she lives with her partner, Kevin. She studied art and works at the Home Office. The world of the Seven Sorcerers came from a rainy lunchtime when she began mapping out the world of the Drift. (Skerridge and his waistcoat came later.)
