Hollowthorn: A Ravenfall Novel

Ages 10 And Up, Grades 5 And Up

Jewish magic and mythology take center stage in this spellbinding sequel to Ravenfall, in which two kids with supernatural powers must venture beyond the veil to protect the Tree of Life from a terrifying foe—or risk losing the magic of Ravenfall forever.

It’s been over a month since Anna Ballinkay and Colin Pierce defeated the King of the Dead on Halloween night, saving the magical Ravenfall Inn they call home. Now, with Hannukah approaching, the kids are looking forward to some peace and quiet—and maybe a little challah and peppermint cocoa, too.

But peace and quiet will have to wait, because a Raven—a guardian of the supernatural world—named Salem shows up at their doorstep with a warning. A demon from Jewish lore is hunting the Tree of Life, a source of untold power and immortality. If they can’t stop him, they risk losing the magic of Ravenfall forever.

Both Anna and Colin jump at the opportunity to prove themselves—Anna, to her eternally distracted father, and Colin, to a mentor who might finally take his own Raven powers seriously. As they venture into the Otherworld, they discover a wondrous, menacing realm full of mythological creatures… But is the true danger closer than they think?
