Would you give up your family for eternal life? Archie is an ordinary teenage boy. Scruffy, disorganised, and late for everything. His high performing, brainy sister Isabella, and his brilliant, sporty twin Daisy, consistently out-dazzle him. Until one night, a strange ghost called Cain arrives at Archie’s bedside and promises him strength and power beyond his wildest dreams. But Archie doesn’t know that Cain has been exiled for millennia to the far reaches of the universe. Once a powerful ruler, Cain now exists as a burnt-out spirit. When he finds a route to Earth, Cain realises that fusing with a human body might be all he needs to restore himself to strength, exact his revenge, and save his people. Moreover, Cain knows something Archie doesn’t. Ancient forces of the universe are realigning, and a great natural disaster is on the way to test mankind’s position on Earth. Archie and his sisters begin to grasp that the task of saving humanity might just lie on their shoulders alone… the problem is, where do they begin? As the enormity of their mission becomes clear, Archie realises he has a choice : Die with his family and friends trying to solve three brutal, mind-boggling riddles—originally designed for powerful men well-versed in magic and combat—or join the spirit and gain eternal life and a universal adventure beyond his wildest imagination.

This brilliantly original story pulls you in right from page one then continues to tighten its grip throughout. The characters are strongly individual and beautifully drawn, from the loveable scruffy Archie and misfit Kemp to the capable, wide-smiled Gus who is definitely 'crush' material! I particularly loved the way that Erith cleverly interweaves glimpses of his underlying theme, like so many clues, into the story - a word here, a reference there - and the way that you start to make sense of them as the story progresses, like a lightbulb pinging in your brain! Best of all, we loved the fact that there are so many unanswered questions at the end and a realm of possible future outcomes. We read it, discussed it, loved it and agreed that this has the mark of a hugely successful series. We cannot wait for the next part of the journey." Bures Book Club Nicky Traynor, Bures Book Club --Bures Book Club "The Power and the Fury is the first in a series of five books telling the story of Isabel, Daisy and Archie de Lowe, and their adventures as they fulfil their world-saving roles according to an ancient prediction. The book is a joyful, page-turning blend of Narnia, Hogwarts and Dr Who, as it throws the 3 children from their blissful yet eccentric existence in an old farmhouse in Yorkshire, UK, into a roller-coaster adventure throwing together magic dream-spinning spiders, a sneeringly arch-baddie, loyal friends, school bullies, gnarly old folk and a lot of water! Meanwhile, the author hints at a much larger saga yet to unfurl which leans on the stories from the book of Genesis." C F Roberts - The Wissington Post "" --Wissington Post, UK "This is a book about three kids fighting a cataclysm and this is what you'll find in this book: 1) An amazingly unique storyline with incredible plot depth about the End of the World and the three unlikely champions to save us. 2) A brilliantly woven mystery with clues so intriguing that finding just one more becomes an addiction. 3) A fast-paced, action-packed adventure in such good writing that it easily blends together with great scene-building and powerful images. 4) Wonderful characters beautifully developed with distinct outl
