Ross Mackenzie is the dream author for those who want their stories full of adventure, danger and magic. This is the sequel to the popular Evernight , a saga of good versus evil, with the good a band of young people brave enough to stand up against a repressive state, and both sides wielding magic and spells as weapons. MacKenzie combines a seemingly limitless imagination and ability to think up extraordinary characters and amazing magical artefacts, with a gift for world-building.
He’s Scottish and there’s a real feel of (Robert Louis Stevenson’s) Edinburgh to the city of King’s Haven for example. In this episode, newly promoted Witch Lara and her friend Joe are sent to investigate a series of terrible murders. The killer is the last person they could have expected it to be, and the climax will have readers gasping aloud.
New character Ivy, a young White Witch with very special powers, will win more admirers too. While fans of Evernight will be desperate to read this, there’s enough backstory woven in that it will work as a stand-alone story for new readers too. This is one to recommend to fans of Philip Pullman as well as Harry Potter, a spell-binding treat for anyone looking for stories of magic and courage.

A Q&A with Ross about his novel The Nowhere Emporium
Where did your inspiration for The Nowhere Emporium come from?
It’s a bit mysterious, actually! The Emporium sort of popped into my head fully formed. I could see this strange old shop so clearly in my head, the sparkling black brick and the faded sign. I knew the shop never stayed in one place for very long, and of course I had to find out why, so I wrote the story.
What is your favourite room in the Nowhere Emporium?
Actually, my favourite place in the entire Emporium is the shop-front where Daniel first meets Mr Silver. It’s dim and dusty and mysterious, filled with so many treasures and curiosities. I could spend days looking around!
What would you write in the Book of Wonders?
I’d have a library with every story ever written waiting on the shelves for me. But it would be a library with a twist: I’d be able to meet the characters from my favourite books face to face! Actually, on second thought, this might turn out to be dangerous – the bad guys would probably try to escape and take over the world!
