August 2014 Debut of the Month Beautifully told, this is a gripping story which flows effortlessly across boundaries which typically separate the real from the imaginary. Living right in the heart of historic London, sixteen year old Lily is an expert in hacking and coding – useful for helping her barrister father in some of his cases. Following up a lead, she is attacked by a two headed dog and would have been left her for dead if the strange, handsome Regan Lupescar hadn’t stepped in and saved her life. But who is Regan and how can he slip into the wierd parallel world peopled with banshees, bandogges and boggarts?
