Synopsis
After getting in trouble with the police, 14-year-old
Matt Freeman finds himself being fostered by the sinister
Jayne Deverill. He soon realizes there’s something
strange going on in his new home – villagers dropping
dead, all roads leading back to the same place and the
spine-tingling whispering he hears in the dead of night.
Matt has spent his whole life denying his special powers
but he’s now forced to accept he might be inextricably
mixed up with the fight against the forces of evil –
in the form of the Old Ones and the opening of Raven’s
Gate. The only help comes in the form of a secret organisation
called the Nexus and also a sceptical young journalist.
But, ultimately, the responsibility of saving the world
from the Old Ones rests with Matt…
