The Book Of Night

Follows 'It's Time, Cassandra Klein' and 'The Gaze Of The Gorgon'.

In Book Three of the Cassandra Klein series, ten long months have passed since Caz last went to Morphea and much has happened. Her father, Gus, is deteriorating mentally and Dr Proteus, aided by Aunt Katarina, has made himself an unwelcome presence in the Klein house. Trying to put aside her worries, Caz determines to celebrate Halloween with her friend Simon.

Just as she is ready to go trick or treating, Proteus gives Caz an ultimatum: give him her magical necklace or he'll destroy Gus's mind once and for all. Left with no choice, Caz prepares to surrender her jewellery when the Harpy, Rapture, appears.

Sent by the combined powers of The Gathering, Rapture is there to bring both Caz and Simon back to Morphea. Caz and her necklace are needed there. Not only does Hecate possess both parts of the Charm of Dissolution, she has stolen The Book of Night from the Wizards of Nyx and intends to use the Charm to destroy it. If she succeeds, history will unravel and Proteus will be able to return to Morphea.

Once in Morphea, Caz discovers that her necklace is missing and, unable to return to Doldreada, she must learn to push aside her self-doubt and fears and believe in herself in order to embark on the dangerous quest to find Hecate and retrieve The Book of Night.
