Timothy Pearsall: 3 books

Raven. Spawned by pagan magic, she's been a warrior, a mercenary, an assassin, a whore. With a dagger on her thigh she roams the world, down the centuries, looking for bloody revenge. In modern London, Raven tangles with an ordinary young couple and their lives are brutally changed. But the huntress...

In this third volume we see the protagonists each struggling with their own demons, both real and psychological. Raven's sense of futility and despair. Richard's perceived failures. Susan's self-imposed guilt, all while poor little Cairo learns to kill.

This second instalment takes our characters to a whole new dimension, the Astral plane. Raven slashes a path to Calcutta, while Cairo is all alone and at the mercy of the ghosts of Malta. Susan loses her mind to Boss Bellini, while Richard is lost in the wilderness of the dark continent. Expect much madness and murder!
