In this clever and quirky follow-up to The Gates and The Infernals, Samuel Johns
on's life seems to have finally settled dow-n-after all, he's still got the comp
any of his faithful dachshund Boswell and his bumbling demon friend Nurd; he has
foiled the dreaded forces of darkness not once but twice; and he's now dating t
he lovely Lucy Highmore. But things in the little English town of Biddlecombe ra
rely run smoothly for long. Shadows are gathering in the skies; a black heart of
pure evil is bubbling with revenge; and it rather looks as if the Multiverse is
about to come to an end, starting with Biddlecombe. When a new toy shop's openi
ng goes terrifyingly awry, Samuel must gather a ragtag band of dwarfs, policemen
, and very polite monsters to face down the greatest threat the Multiverse has e
ver known, not to mention assorted vampires, a girl with an unnatural fondness f
or spiders, and highly flammable unfriendly elves.
