The Raven Book Four: A dark supernatural

by Tobey Alexander

Death’s Hand has faced monsters before. Simbi is something worse.

John Smith, known as Raven, has survived the horrors beneath London, but the city’s dead are no longer staying where they belong.

A powerful priestess is bending the boundaries between life and death, and her influence is spreading fast. Her name is Simbi, and as Raven and Inspector Abberline follow the trail she leaves behind, they uncover a conspiracy tied to forces older and darker than they ever expected.

The Full Moon Society is still moving in secret. Ancient evil is beginning to stir. And this time, London itself may become the battleground between the living and the dead.

With allies dwindling and betrayal never far behind, Raven must stop Simbi before the city is consumed by a curse that could tear reality apart.

A dark supernatural thriller of voodoo, conspiracy and rising terror beneath the streets of London.

About the author

It's always a bit weird trying to sum myself up in a paragraph or two but here goes. I'm a father-of-three curious little humans who probably reflect various elements of my personality, full-time worker on the Thin Blue Line, adventurer in my own right and live for the escape of the outdoors where I can. Ever since I was young I enjoyed creative alternative worlds and stories and I suppose having now "apparently" grown up I can put it to use as an author.

I write to release my own over-active imagination and at the heart of everything is always the idea of adventure. I want my books to offer everyone the chance to escape form the everyday routines and things that niggle at us. In my books for younger audiences I want to nurture that sense of wonder, intrigue and adventure I remember growing up. In the older audience I want to reinvigorate that sense and offer a break from mortgages, bills, work and stress.

I'm not perfect, far from it in fact and all I am trying to do is make the best of what I have. For me, over the years, I've found out I carry a rare genetic deletion with unknown effects but seems to put me on the autism spectrum. Learning that helped me accept that the "quirkiness" of my nature is more acceptable than I had thought. Every story I write, every book I release I have seen in my head, acted out and watched as if it were a film. The way my brain works helps me do this and I only hope you find something you enjoy in my stories.
