Raven's Gate — Anthony Horowitz

From internationally bestselling author Anthony Horowitz comes the first book of The Gatekeepers, a thrilling, chilling tale of world-changing secrets, terrifying truths, and a full-power fight between good and evil. . . .

As punishment for a crime he didn't really commit, Matt was given a choice: Go to jail or go live with an old woman named Mrs. Deverill in a remote town called Lesser Mailing.

He should have chosen jail.

A strange and sinister plan is coming together in Lesser Mailing, with Matt at the center of it all. People who try to help him disappear ... or die. It all ties to an evil place named Raven's Gate -- a place whose destiny is horrifyingly intertwined with Matt's own. An ancient doom is about to be unleashed ... and Matt is the only one who can stop it.
