Overview

Wormwood, read here by Robert Powell, follows the exceptional success of GP Taylor s bestselling first book, Shadowmancer. Dr Sabian Blake astronomer, scientist, and master of the Kabbalah is in possession of the Nemorensis, an ancient leather-bound book which holds the secrets of the universe. Leafing through it one night, he reads a mysterious inscription in the margin: Wormwood the bright star shall fall from the sky and many will die from its bitterness. Deciphering this prophecy could prove the key to saving London from a catastrophic fate. But there are others interested in the Nemorensis too for more sinister reasons. Blake and his serving maid Agetta Lamian soon become enmeshed in a web of sorcery, as agents of both good and evil battle to possess the book and gain its power. They will face great danger, and must decide who to trust for the wrong decision could cost them their souls... **
