A decade after the Cynosure, Zoe Sinclair is still trying to ignore the end of the world. For ten years, everything has been slowly falling apart; people continue to disappear, and no one seems to know where, until they begin to reappear, remoulded, as the terrifying Baptised...

Dark forces are moving in the deserted tunnels of London. Zoe Sinclair’s father, Dr Edward Sinclair, is no longer himself – his body has been taken over by a warrior named Telos. Now Ed is a silent passenger, able to see, hear, and share his thoughts with Telos, but powerless to move or speak. To make matters worse, while fighting alongside the resistance, Ed discovers he can see the dead – but he has no idea why. Incessantly bickering, Ed and Telos lead a unit of Safe Enclave troopers in subterranean missions, from Bayswater to Canary Wharf. Bound by their shared purpose, the unlikely pair are determined to uncover the truth behind the pandemic. Deep beneath the crumbling tower blocks of the city, in a vast crypt, they finally unearth the secret at the heart of the catastrophe – and realise things are about to get far worse. With the help of Peter Finch – also known as the Magic Man – can they defeat the secret horror awakening in London’s lost tunnels before it fully matures?

‘Dramatic, detailed, and romantic.’ Megan Bradbury, author of Everyone is Watching. 2010. The end of the world has begun, but no one is paying attention. People are unaware of the breaking pandemic, code name, The Epilogue Event. Accidentally finding himself at centre stage, an unlikely and unwilling hero Peter Finch, must, if he is to survive, awaken powers he has been trying to forget for over thirty years. And time is not on his side. A mysterious Artificial Intelligence, the cause of the plague, is slowly gaining control over everyone Peter loves and everything he values. On the streets of West London, the most powerful slave of a New Order, Dr Gordon Langley, is projecting a terrifying message. Unless Peter, aided by a band of misfits and criminals, can confront Langley, and his accomplices at a research facility near Norwich, and discover the meaning of the virus and reverse it, their world will be overcome and those permitted to survive will only endure in a new, previously unimaginable form of slavery.
