Soul Stealer — Martin Booth

A sinister magician...
a masterful plot...
and millions of souls at stake...

Thrust into a world of ancient spells, dangerous games, and deep-seated malice between old rivals, Pip and Tim are in for the most chilling adventure of their lives. Over the summer, they discovered Sebastian -- a medieval alchemist's son who had awakened from centuries-old sleep -- and helped thwart the evil schemes of his father's enemy. They thought that their work was done.

Now, Pip and Tim learn that another enemy has emerged from the past with an even deadlier plan: to get a hold of an old book of spells and use it to steal the souls of countless people. As Sebastian primes them on the secrets of alchemy and witchcraft, Pip and Tim find themselves entangled in a web of deceit more frightening than their wildest nightmares. When their school field trip seems fated to turn into a nuclear disaster, can their courage and quick wit keep their enemy at bay?
