The Hematoi descend from the unions of gods & mortals & the children of two Hematoi-pure-bloods-have godlike powers. Children of Hematoi & mortals
- well not so much. Half-bloods only have two options: become trained Sentinels who hunt & kill daimons or become servants in the homes of the pures. Seventeen-year-old Alexandria would rather risk her life fighting than waste it scrubbing toilets but she may end up slumming it anyway. There are several rules that students at the Covenant must follow. Alex has problems with them all but especially rule number 1: Relationships between pures & halfs are forbidden. Unfortunately she is crushing hard on the totally hot pure-blood Aiden. But falling for Aiden is not her biggest problem
- staying alive long enough to graduate the Covenant & become a Sentinel is. If she fails in her duty she faces a future worse than death or slavery: being turned into a daimon & being hunted by Aiden. & that would kind of suck.

England 1937. In the village of Blacknowle on the Dorset coast fourteen-year-old Mitzy Hatcher has endured a wild & lonely upbringing. Shunned by her neighbours the arrival of renowned artist Charles Aubrey along with his exotic mistress & their daughters is like a breath of fresh air. As Charless muse Mitzy develops a deep & abiding bond with the Aubrey household over the course of the following three summers. Gradually Mitzy begins to perceive a future she had never thought possible & a powerful love is kindled in her. A love that will grow as she does: from innocence to obsession; from childish infatuation to something far more complex. It will be almost seventy-five years before the consequences of this potent desire are fully played out as a young man in an art gallery looks at a hastily-drawn portrait & wonders at the intensity of it. The questions he asks will lead him back to Blacknowle & draw him to the truth about those fevered summers in the 1930s. Moving from the wilds of the Dorset coast to the intoxicating heat of a Moroccan summer A Half Forgotten Song explores the quixotic nature of memory
- & the perils of obsessive love.

This is the book every loyal Shaymen fan should possess. Featuring club history player profiles match summaries & statistics it is illustrated throughout with colour photographs some of which have never been published before. Halifax Town was formed in 1911 following a letter by E.A. Jones which appeared in the pages of the Halifax Courier" & two subsequent public meetings at the now long since defunct Saddle Hotel. The intention was to build up the club & take it to the higher echelons of the Football League. Instead the club found itself floundering for much of the time amid poor attendances poor results & dire financial straits. Some folk might argue the club was not worth the bother. But for those who embraced it over the years they could not
- or would not
- live without it. Over the years Halifax Town have written themselves into the record books though not always for the right reasons. The supporters have suffered more than most for if the yearly struggles were not hard enough to take then what of the clubs liquidation in 2008? Major successes over 97 years could be counted on two fingers
- promotion in 1969 & the Conference title in 1998
- though the back-to-back promotions the reformed club has achieved under Neil Aspin must not be overlooked. This book chronicles the history of Halifax Town from its humble beginnings the highs & lows & everything in between in fascinating detail as well as profiling all the clubs managers star players memorable matches & history of the grounds. In addition every game played by both Halifax Town & FC Halifax Town is listed with season-by-season grids covering the major first-team matches as are separate lists of every player to have turned out for club. A second section also covers the formation & first three seasons of FC Halifax Town thus encapsulating the full 100 years since the original club was formed. Illustrated throughout with colour photographs some of which have never been published before the result is a volume that is an essential addition to the bookshelves of any Halifax Town fan. Put simply this is a book that provides everything any Town fan & indeed any football fan would want to know about the club. It is as the title suggests the complete record of Halifax Town."
