YA
Siblings Nick and Alan have been fighting against magicians and demons for years. When Alan meets a brother and sister in need of help, only the riskiest plan can save them all. This suspenseful fantasy is fleshed out with complex characterizations. There are plenty of twists and turns until the final revelation, which tests the power of evil against the strength of humanity.
