The Shadowmancer Returns Can evil ever be destroyed? G. P. Taylor adds a higher definition to fiction in this sequel to Shadowmancer. Kate and Thomas have escaped the sorcerer Demurral and sailed to London with charismatic Jacob Crane. But trouble lies in wait when their ship is seized and they are lured into the darkest heart of the city— to a street that will change their reality and their lives. Further north, Raphah returns and is joined by the most unlikely companion, Demurral’s old crony, Beadle. They join together for a terrifying journey in search of their friends. Along the way, unknown enemies and a shadowy beast disturb and torment them. All paths lead to one place: a cursed street, hidden from the world—a place where souls are lost, fates are decided, and old enemies seek their revenge.

From Booklist:

With stakes no smaller than absolute dominion over heaven and earth, an epic battle continues in this sequel to New York Times bestseller Shadowmancer (2003), part of a larger series of Christian allegories set in old-time England and written by a former parson. Unlike the intervening Wormwood (2004)and Tersias the Oracle (2006), this book revisits Shadowmancer's main players. Friends Kate and Thomas flee demon-conjurer Obadiah Demurral only to find themselves caught in a sinister trap; a parallel story follows Beadle, Demurral's reformed lackey, as he and the prophetlike youth Raphah sort friends from enemies among passengers on a coach journey to London. From a Hound of the Baskervilles–style subplot to dark, wild fairy magic, Taylor writes arrestingly of evil's many guises, although the overcomplicated plot can be difficult to follow, and the death of one of the main characters will shock some readers. Even so, this should be as popular as its predecessor. There's a scarcityof exciting fantasies that place shivery magic in the context of Christian beliefs and provide heroes guided by heavenly purpose and the "deep magic" conferred by faith.
