The Shadow Garden : 2

Precocious Lily Blackwood carries a burden no child should bear. As the last female of the Blackwood line, she is sworn to guard Nightfall Gardens and keep the fairy-tale monsters, old gods, and deathly shades sealed away from the world of men. If she fails, the horrors trapped there will spill into reality. With the help of her brother Silas, the dusk riders, and her friend Cassandra, Lily fights to hold back the darkness gathering around the estate. But the creatures bound to the Gardens are growing stronger. A vengeful witch named Bemisch has slipped into the mist lands to join forces with Eldritch, a powerful nature god with his own designs. The enigmatic Smiling Ladies guard a secret tied to the Blackwood family’s darkest sins. And something new stalks the halls of the manor, waiting for its chance to strike. Lily’s fourteenth birthday is approaching, and with it a dangerous rite of passage. To survive, she must enter the Shadow Garden, a realm where every nightmare has teeth, and confront the terror that has risen to claim her birthright. The fate of Nightfall Gardens depends on her courage. The Shadow Garden waits.Author: Houston, Allen,author Contributors: Houston, Allen,author Binding: paperback Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Published/Release Date: 23 Oct 2013 Format: Paperback / softback Publisher/Studio/Brand: Flycatcher Books Author/Director/Artist: Allen Houston Dimension (cm): 203x127x24 mm Package Dimension (cm): 28x202x124 mm Item Weight (g): 412 Package Weight (g): 360
