Jonathan Stroud was born in Bedford in 1970. After studying English Literature at York University, he moved to London, where he worked as an editor in a publishing firm. He is the author of the best-selling BARTIMAEUS sequence, which is published in 35 languages and has sold 6 million copies worldwide, and also of four other novels: HEROES OF THE VALLEY, THE LAST SIEGE, THE LEAP and BURIED FIRE. Jonathan lives in Hertfordshire with his family.
Three lonely teens, Emily, Simon, and the mysterious Marcus, form an alliance on the snowy slopes of a castle moat. They break into the keep and decide to spend the night, enjoying a rare sense of power as they play at being occupiers. Their game becomes a terrifying reality when they decide to stay in the castle and must defend themselves against the authorities who are determined to bring them back to reality. David Thorn's narration is precise and captivating. His pacing and exact enunciation build tension amid the danger and excitement. Stroud has written a thrilling adventure, and Thorn brings it to life. N.E.M. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
