The Paradise Knights

Book excerpt: 'Do not bandy words with me, woman!' he shrieked, his spit fizzing like acid as it splattered the stone around the window. 'You are nothing. I could squash you with a thought if I wished. You live only as long as I might find you useful in aiding my escape from this place.' Teenage twins, Luke and Alice Goodnight, live an idyllic life in modern-day rural England. However, when Luke discovers a mysterious object in an old book, a disastrous chain of supernatural events ensues. Recruiting their elderly aunt, Augustine Cherrybrum, an eccentric sorceress, only makes things worse for the twins when her curiosity gets the better of her. Something truly evil is stirring in an ancient mine under a nearby wood. Luke and Alice will need all the help they can get to fight it. Can a retired Special Forces soldier, and a secret society of Arthurian knights, founded by Merlin fifteen hundred years ago, aid the twins in their perilous quest?
