When two young girls go missing in rural Herefordshire police constable and wizard-in-training
Peter Grant is sent out of London to check that nothing supernatural is involved.It's purely
routine-Nightingale Peter's superior thinks he'll be done in less than a day. But Peter's
never been one to walk away from someone in trouble so when nothing overtly magical turns up
he volunteers his services to the local police who need all the help they can get. But because
the universe likes a joke as much as the next sadistic megalomaniac Peter soon comes to
realize that dark secrets underlie the picturesque fields and villages of the countryside and
there might just be work for Britain's most junior wizard after all.Soon Peter's in a vicious
race against time in a world where the boundaries between reality and fairy have never been
less clear....
