not stop the Hexenjager.
It is said that the Codex Gigas contains a spell for summoning the
Prince of Darkness. So when the medieval bible is stolen by demonic
soldiers known as the Sons of Cain, Jakob and his companions form an
alliance with an order of English witch hunters and race to London
to prevent a horrific prophecy from being fulfilled.
Whether battling his way into the gaols of Rotterdam or crossing
blades with the Sons of Cain during the Great Fire of London, this
will be Jakob's most perilous mission yet.
A nightmarish prison, a charismatic prince, a graveyard of
unspeakable horrors, a race to the death . . . Strap on your swords
for one hell of a ride.' Publisher
The first two books in the series were recommended:
The Witch Hunter Chronicles 1: The
Scourge Of Jericho by Stuart Daly. 'I would recommend it
to people who like books about witch
hunting with heaps of twists'. (Tahlia Kennewell, Student)
The Witch Hunter Chronicles 2: The Army of
the Undead by Stuart Daly. 'This is a rollicking, historical
action adventure that runs at
breakneck speed.' (Alicia Papp)
