Lycopolis

2011

An alternate cover for this ASIN can be found here. One Hallowe'en, a group of online roleplayers summon a demon, The Prince of Nightmares. Seth, who's in charge of the game, says it's "just for fun". But disturbing things start to happen in real life: red marks appear on the foreheads of the gamers, and they're all having nightmares about a dark forest. Secrets come out, friendships are broken, and the boundaries between the real, the virtual and the imaginary become increasingly fractured as the Prince becomes more powerful. Kay, a student at Oxford, is the only person who realises what Seth is doing - and it's up to her to stop him. \\\\EXCERPT\\\\ In bed, Seth fixed his eyes on the ceiling, staring up through the dark. Sleep tugged at him, eddies dragging his thoughts around and around, fracturing them into a sinking swirl. Lines of computer code. Long sleepless nights. A list of names, waiting for payback. And before all that, a child, lost in a forest ...

Oblivion

2015

An alternate cover for this ASIN can be found [here](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/38223693.here "here"). In the English countryside, Seth's settling into his new house - a striking contrast with his home in London. Over in Swindon, Mark and Hannah are coming to terms with family upheaval. In Oxford, Kay and Brandon are trying to focus on their studies - yet the demon world is becoming a hard-to-ignore reality. Seth's new house harbours an old secret, one that's set to rock Mark and Hannah's already shaky marriage ... despite their determination to have nothing more to do with him. An empty picture frame, a dark snowy night, and the gift of a thousand pounds open up a dangerous path for fresh temptation and ancient evil to combine.

Dominion

2017

\\Dominion is the third volume in a trilogy, and follows straight on from the events in the second book, Oblivion. I strongly recommend that you read Lycopolis and Oblivion first.\\ Seth's countryside home, once a safe retreat, is now under siege by demons. Kay and Brandon are with him—but there's little they can do. Once the protection on the house fails, as it soon will, the demons will seize him—and drag him to the Prince of Nightmares. They're hoping, desperately, for a way forward. Until Kay falls asleep in front of the empty picture frame ... and everything changes. For the worse. New alliances form, friendships are tested, and one unforgivable act of betrayal has lasting repercussions in this compelling conclusion to the Lycopolis trilogy.
