Seven oclock on a Monday morning five hundred years after the end of the world & goblins had been at the cellar again... Maddy Smith was born with a rusty-coloured runemark on her hand
- a symbol of the old gods & definitely cause for suspicion. For magic is dangerous. Or so everyone thinks. But Maddy enjoys working magic. Even if it is just to control some pesky goblins. & every time her friend One-Eye
- a good-for-nowt Outlander
- comes by he teaches her more & more about the gods & the runes. Now he wants Maddy to open Red Horse Hill & descend into World Below to retrieve a relic of the old gods. Otherwise it is likely to be the End of Everything. Again... An epic romp into the heart of the old Norse tales: wild dangerous richly inventive & superbly imaginative.
