Wormwood

"Wormwood" plunges readers into a thrilling 18th-century London, where a deadly comet, foretold in prophecy, threatens to destroy the city. Dr. Sabian Blake, a scientist, possesses the Nemorensis, an ancient book rumored to unlock the universe's secrets. Alongside his young housemaid, Agetta, Blake must decipher the book's warnings and confront powerful dark entities, including Pyratheon and Yerzinia, who seek to harness the comet's power for their own nefarious ends. This Christian allegory explores themes of good versus evil, destiny, and the interplay between science and faith, offering a complex narrative for mature young adult readers. It is a sequel to "Shadowmancer" and has been noted for its allegorical depth and controversial critiques of other spiritual traditions.

In 1756, as a deadly comet hurtles toward London, Dr. Sabian Blake and his fourteen-year-old housemaid, Agetta, struggle against dark forces that seek an ancient, powerful book in Blake's possession that would enable them to carry out an evil plan in which Agetta unknowingly plays a pivotal role.
