An ancient magic. A deadly enemy. A reluctant hero.

12-year-old Sam’s world is blown apart when he discovers that his family was once at the heart of a secret society – The Order of the Evening – that had long protected the world. Now a powerful enemy is closing in, destroying all in its path to find the Order’s hidden palace of Bellasis and the source of its powerful magic. Only Sam can stop them. But first, he must bring the Order together again.

The clock is ticking. Dark forces are massing. Sam must undertake perilous journeys, determine friend and foe, and discover his true powers. For this boy holds the future of the world in his hands …

A children’s story only in the absence of swear words! It is a fascinating story which builds and builds as you read until you are desperate to know the ending. A gentle quizzical intertwining of the modern world with myth and legend. A delightful read.

Absolute page turner

I was gripped from beginning to end by this wonderful book. Oh my goodness - it’s exactly the sort of ‘good versus evil’ story that the world needs so much right now!
I hope it will be made into a film so more people can access it all over the world. So powerful.
First I read the hardback - couldn’t put it down - then a few weeks later I bought the audible version. It’s so brilliantly read by Alexander Armstrong and, when listening in the car, there were several times when I had to pull over as I was so enthralled and didn’t want to arrive at my destination before the end of the chapter! Apart from it being a brilliant story with such believable characters, I loved the detailed descriptions of all the places, and their ancient history. I loved the unquenchable curiosity and anticipation I felt at the start of each new chapter as more wonderful stories of the Golden Linnets and the Evening were slowly revealed.
I also enjoyed listening to it being read aloud by Alexander and his brilliant intonation and all the different voices of the characters. I’m going to miss it now it’s over!
I recommend this 500% to ALL ages. You will NOT be disappointed.
And I can’t wait for the sequel to come out!
Thank you Alexander Armstrong for sharing your wonderful imagination with us all and for bringing a feeling of hope and optimism back into a rather dark world.

Wow! A MUST-READ for any age! Loved it 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
