Wormwood

Panic fills the streets of London on a night in 1756 when the earth suddenly lurches forward and starts spinning out of control. Within moments, eleven days and nights flash through the sky, finally leaving the city in total darkness. Is the end of the world at hand? Is there any hope left?

Dr. Sabian Blake is a scientist who has recently acquired the Nemorensis, the legendary book said to unlock the secrets of the universe. He believes the comet will either end the world as he knows it or hearken a new age of scientific and spiritual enlightenment. His young housemaid, Agetta Lamian overhears Dr. Blake's prophecy that a star called Wormwood is headed toward London, where it will fall from the sky and strike a fatal blow. As the madness in London grows, Dr. Blake fears that the Nemorensis' power could be clouding his own reason and drawing dangerous spirits to his door. Soon even Agetta seems to have been seduced by the book, and whom she ultimately delivers it to will determine much more then just her fate. This second novel by G. P. Taylor, author of Shadowmancer is another thrilling tale of good versus evil, where fallen angels and dark spirits vie for allegiance.
