Half Bad

Summary

In a world divided between good and evil, what happens when you're both?

Nathan Byrn is the illegitimate son of the world's most dangerous witch.

Kept in a cage by the Council of Fairborn witches, who believe he is destined to follow the same destructive path as his father, Nathan must find a way to unlock his full powers before his seventeenth birthday, or face madness and death.

His one hope lies with the sinister Blood witch Mercury. But Mercury's help always comes at a price - one Nathan may not be able to pay . . .

Now a major new Netflix series entitled The Bastard Son & the Devil Himself.

'Highly entertaining and dangerously addictive' - TIME

Reviews

  • A book about witches with no owls and not a pair of round spectacles in sight. The new Hunger Games,I suspect... Brilliant and utterly compelling - I loved it.
    Kate Atkinson, author of Life after Life and Behind the Scenes of the Museum
