About The Invisible College Trilogy

Emily and Peter discover their arrival in Templewood is no accident. The village is home to a mysterious Sect that believes Peter holds the key to unlocking an ancient prophecy that will provide them with the information they seek to enable them to carry out their plan. Emily and Peter find themselves in a race to solve the mystery and defeat the Sect.

The storyline contains many elements to engage and excite the reader: a secret location, the mysterious Sect, a conspiracy, a prophecy based on real ancient myths and legends, a book of arcane knowledge (of which one key volume is missing), the quest for hidden knowledge and treasure, an apocalyptic event and hints of the supernatural.

The Winners

Joanne Smith

Sarah Austin

Ruth Harwood

Harline Parkin

Iain Maciver.

All have been notified by email and the books have been posted second class (Tuesday  21st February 2017).
