Book Description by Author:

Alaric Swift has been hearing strange voices all summer. But this is just the start.

As Alaric starts his second year at Oakwood School for Nephilim, tensions rise on Harramore, and a mysterious sickness spreads around campus. Gnomes, cyclops, students—no one is safe. Then, delving deeper, Alaric and his friends discover this may not be a disease at all, but something far more dangerous.

Now, Alaric must again embark on a perilous adventure to save Harramore from the clutches of evil. And as dark secrets are revealed about the island, he and his friends will need their powers more than ever. Because should they fail, they may just lose themselves.

‘The Raven’s Veil’ is the gripping second instalment of The Miracle Prince series, which fans of Harry Potter and Percy Jackson are bound to love.
