Fresh out of school, young Mariah faces a new chapter of his life living in the Prince Regent hotel built into the rockface of a cliffside. His job is to assist the magician in the stage shows held for the guests. Above ground, the guests are offered every form of luxury. Below ground, in the slimy, green-dripping walls of the basements, is where the magic show equipment is kept - and lurking in an Egyptian sarcophagus amongst scuttling sea-creatures is a secret that draws Mariah into the path of villainy, plots, and possible death.
G.P.Taylor turned to writing when he was a vicar with his first novel Shadowmancer, which was an international bestseller. This is his fifth novel, and he has received widespread critical acclaim for his work. He lives in Yorkshire with his family, near the rugged North Yorkshire Moors and the cold Oceanus Germanicus that provide the dramatic backdrop to his stories.
