Product Description

Book Description

'Tell them Fen is on her way! Tell them death is coming!'

Product Description

Sam's transformation from boy to dragon is complete. A life of miserable solitude awaits him. But old enemies are re-grouping, determined to kill Sam once and for all.

And thousands of miles away a catastrophic secret has escaped into the world - Fen, a murderous dragon-girl, imprisoned underground since birth and driven mad with hatred.

All paths lead to one place. Streaming Point. Here Sam will face the fight of his life - a battle for the future of humankind.

The climactic finale to the story that began with Worm in the Blood and continued with Beast Beneath the Skin.

Praise for Worm in the Blood, winner of the Calderdale Children's Book Award:

'Utterly gripping...Stirring, original stuff.'

The Independent

'A great idea, beautifully set up and explained.'

The Herald

'Bloor has woven myth, fantasy and harsh reality into this riveting story.'

Carousel

'An edgy but hugely gripping cross-over children's book.'

Format:Paperback
The last novel in this darkly powerful trilogy about Sam Lim-Evans, an ordinary-seeming teenagers who has undergone the most extraordinary and terrifying metamorphis into a dragon - a dragon with psychic powers and confused visions, yet who never loses touch with his essential humanity, and longs for reconcilliation with his father. He has two great adversaries who are hunting him to the death - his old enemies, the Knights of the Pursuing Flame, led by the fanatical Sister Ironspeare, who has her own agenda; and Fen, a dragon-girl, motivated by hatred, who has lost all traces of the young human she once was.

This is a hugely ambitious novel of almost Jacobean melodrama, with a large cast of characters and settings that sweep world-wide and beyond the Earth itself, though it begins in the atmospheric marshland of SE London and ends in a gripping, apocalyptic climax around an old nuclear power station on the N Yorkshire coast. And does Sam ultimately become a boy, or does he die in dragon shape? The ending is right and apt, and not altogether unforeshadowed. Read it and find out!
