Meet Jack BC.jpg
Boys' Mythic Underworlds

Shapeshifters. Ancient secrets. Mythic mystery reborn.

Two lonely boys with mythic destinies. Two haunting collisions with the undead.

In these emotionally rich, adrenaline-fuelled novels, Jack Bootle-Cadogan and Stein Huckenbeck each uncover ancient family secrets lurking beneath the surface of their lives. Jack’s transforming into Anubis, Egyptian god of the dead. Stein's a lonely prince whose new friend might be more undead than
anyone realises.

From dark transformations to fierce loyalty, ancient curses to modern chaos, these are stories where mythology meets coming-of-age ... with bite.
