It was over coffee and biscuits that Grandma Ives offered to return Cameron's father from the dead...
Cameron never came to visit his grandma when his dad was alive -- and he's just found out the reason why. Sent to stay with her after his father's death, Grandma Ives soon reveals their family's extraordinary abilities, and introduces him to the dark side of Edinburgh he never knew existed -- the Daemon Parallel.
Cameron is sent on dangerous missions in Edinburgh's daemon underworld to find the ingredients for an ancient spell that will bring his dad back to life. Cameron befriends a werewolf, bargains with a giant bat-like beast, and struggles to escape the clutches of a powerful spider daemon. But will he survive long enough to finish the resurrection spell? And who can he trust in a world where nothing is what it seems?
No one has set foot on Earth in centuries - until now.
Humanity has lived on spaceships ever since a devastating nuclear war on Earth. But now, one hundred juvenile delinquents are being sent on a dangerous mission: to re-colonize the planet. It could be their second chance at life . . . or it could be a suicide mission.
Clarke was arrested for treason and haunted by the memory of what she really did. Wells, the chancellor's son, came to Earth for the girl he loves. Reckless Bellamy fought his way onto the transport pod to protect his sister. And Glass managed to escape onto the ship, only to find that life there is just as dangerous as she feared it would be on Earth.
Confronted with a savage land and haunted by secrets from their pasts, the hundred must fight to survive. They were never meant to be heroes, but they may be mankind's last hope.
