Step into an infinite world of stories
5 of 5
Teens & Young adult
A lost child. A powerful relic. A desperate quest through time. Sophie and Freddy are in ancient Rome, searching for the artefact that can destroy a god and save their daughter. Hugo is there too with Sophie’s dog, Charlotte — and so is a hired assassin.
Hunted through gleaming temples and sleazy backstreets, they must survive until the Festival of Janus, when the artefact will be in plain sight.
But killing a god comes with the ultimate price…
Dive into another hold-your-breath story in the fifth and penultimate book of the Shorten Chronicles. Savour this fast-paced romantic adventure in ancient Rome — and hold tight. You’ll believe you’re there.
