King of Dead Things

Raising the dead is easy. Living is harder.Eli doesn't know who he is or where he's come from, but what he does know is he can pluck the magic from a soul like a petal from a flower. Meanwhile Malcolm would do anything to escape his past and save his mum, even if that means making a deal with the devil himself . . . When whispers reach the London magical underworld that the legendary fang of the leopard god Osebo is up for grabs, every thief worth their salt is dead set on getting their hands on it. Eli's not interested in power, he's interested in the payoff... and when he crosses paths with Malcolm, it's clear they can help one another. But as the boys grow closer, they soon realise that there are greater forces at play, including a duppy king who never plays by the rules, and the daughter of Death herself, finally free from years of exile.Dark powers have been awoken, which only Malcolm and Eli can stop. But maybe none are as dark as the secrets they're keeping from each other . . .
