Book 5: When the Cat's Away...

Book 5 chronicles important events during August 2011. The chaotic anarchy of the Real Irish Fairy Defence League at the Loughcrew Cairns is contrasted with the ordered proceeding of the Sinn Fein Sidhe atop the Hill of Tara. Carman the Goddess of the Damned puts in a brief appearance with her sons Dub Dian and Dother. She appears to have learned a thing or two from Margaret Thatcher (or was it the other way round?). The Capo dei Capi in London takes a direct interest in the growing threat presented to his world by Myrddin’s Heir and his magically gifted friends. Meanwhile, resistance to the tyranny put in place by the evil Octavius Mortlake becomes more organized with the launch of WARD (Wandholders’ Alliance for the Return of Democracy). Gordon finds out what can happen if you stand idly by while evil flourishes and decides that he and he and the others must go to war. One by one they take on the enemies... Some terrible bullies get their just desserts; but then the Eight Team face annihilation at the merciless hands of Dub - one of the three sons of Carman, evil Goddess of the Damned... At the end of the book, on their first day in year 8, one of Zoë’s prophecies is fulfilled.
