THE BOOK OF WHISPERS
Winner of 2015 Text Prize for Young Adult and Children's Writing
Tuscany, 1096 AD. Luca, a young heir to the title of Conte de Falconi, sees demons: red-eyed leathery monsters that follow people everywhere and attach to their items of greatest value. Since no one else can see the demons, Luca must keep quiet about what he sees, or risk another exorcism by the nefarious priest Ramberti.
Luca also has dreamsdreams that seem to predict the future. When Luca sees his father murdered in one such dream, he vows to stop it coming true. Even if he has to go against his father's wishes and follow him on the great pilgrimage to capture the Holy Lands.
When Luca is given an ancient book that holds some inscrutable power, he knows he's been thrown into an adventure that will lead to places beyond his understanding. But with the help of Suzan, the beautiful girl he rescues from the desert, he will realise his true quest: to defeat the forces of man and demon that wish to destroy the world.
