A suspenseful teen fantasy about young love, dark mystery and magic
'Philip Womack is a writer of huge talent' Daily Telegraph
Something is menacing Mundham Farm. Does it come from outside - or
within? Who or what are the Samdhya, the supernatural people
described in the old handwritten diaries Tom finds in his uncle's
house? As Tom starts to uncover the truth and learn new details
about his parents' death, he is confronted with a stark choice: on
the one hand, infinite power; on the other, freedom. Which will he
choose? 'Womack's blend of action and philosophising will ensure a
big following.' Sunday Telegraph
‘Immensely informative, wrapped in an engagingly casual tone,
complemented by more than a dash of the bizarre. You’d be barking
to miss it.’ Professor Michael Scott Can you tell your Odysseus
from your Oedipus? In this unique introduction, Philip Womack leads
his beloved lurcher Una (and us) on a fleet-footed odyssey through
the classical world. From Aeneas to Cerberus to Polydorus, you’ll
learn about the world of the Ancient Greeks and Romans and, with a
bit of luck, you’ll be able to pass it on to your dog. But maybe
best leave out that story of the hounds who tore their very own
master limb from limb…
Dark forces are at work in the House of the Double Axe. Stephan,
the thirteen-year-old son of King Minos of Crete, stumbles across a
terrifying conspiracy. Is the Minotaur, a half man half bull who
eats human flesh, real? Or is something even more dangerous
threatening to engulf both the palace and the world? Stephan must
race to save his family from a terrible fate and find out what
really lurks inside the labyrinth... You think you know the story?
Think again. The Double Axe is the first instalment in Philip
Womack's Blood and Fire series, which reimagines classical myths
from the point of view of teenage protagonists. It's a thrilling
tale of adventure, and an opportunity for young readers to engage
with and learn more about classical mythology.
