Underground 7

Revenge: Something is dreadfully wrong with Tracey. She appears to be dying, and nobody knows what's causing it or how to stop its inevitable progress. Her condition initiates a frantic scramble for answers that culminates in finding Quina, a very eccentric healer, who lives in the wilderness. She's ugly, extremely so, but Stephen suspects there's more to her than meets the eye. She appears reluctant to help, but finally agrees to do so when pressured by Thorn, Tracey's sister. Quina's methods are somewhat......individualistic, to say the very least, but she does announce a bizarre solution to Tracey's mysterious illness, but is she correct? And will Stephen and his companions find the cure before it's too late? The confusing and dangerous path to uncover the hidden machinations of the plot against Tracey will take them a long way from home; involve them in fights with the most horrendous antagonists and lead to a very surprising and tragic conclusion.

Retribution: Something nasty is happening to the fairy settlement. For one thing, there's a sudden overabundance of rats and that's just the start of the weird occurrences. An epidemic of boils, water turning to blood and an inexplicable darkness follow, making Stephen imagine he's living in Biblical plague times in ancient Egypt. Someone with unimaginable power is causing the chaos, but how is it being done and why? Quina, unconventional healer and the latest member of the group, seeks spiritual help from her dead sister, and, along with help from the Chief Librarian, points everyone towards a possible answer, although it's a very dangerous path to find it. But the answer appears to defy imagination and, even if it is correct, how could ordinary mortals possibly hope to overcome the wielder of such god-like powers? To win through could mean the ultimate sacrifice, but will even that be enough?
