Tanya, Alana, Teb and Ally are celebrating their exam results and planning for an exciting future ahead. The trouble with living in Troutespond though, is that no matter what your plans are, the town will make its own for you. A secret cult of red-robed figures is skulking around town, the Piper has been banished, the dead are reappearing, and being volunteered for human sacrifice seems to be the order of the day. There's plenty of magic, of course. And a dragon! The Troutespond Series is a YA fantasy, working on the premise that if the supernatural did exist, inquisitive teenagers would be the first to notice, and absolutely the worst people ever to interact with it.
