Dark Terror: The Disappearance (Under the Rainbow Book 3)

Every magic trick consists of three parts, or acts. The first part is called the Pledge. The magician shows you something ordinary. The second act is called the Turn. The magician takes the ordinary something and makes it into something extraordinary. But you wouldn't clap yet, because making something disappear isn't enough. You have to bring it back. - Sir Michael Caine This is the third of seven books in the Under the Rainbow series narrating a classic Good v Evil account. Myth combined with Magic. A portal is opened in the cemetery of St. Mary's Church in a stagnant village somewhere on the English coast. This portal allows select residents to enter a world inhabited by Faeries, Pixie/Elf hybrids, a giant, a dragon, talking animals and more than the odd unicorn. Their assailants include Vampyrs, Wraiths, Weirdoos, Minxes, gargoyles and Lucifer himself. Unfortunately the portal is two way, and access to the backwater village sees the struggle continue to its conclusion in our own world. Readers expecting pretty little cottages with roses framing their doorways, with delicate little fairies flitting in the sunlight, will end up disappointed. More discerning readers will strip off layers from the story to discover the hidden depths beneath. Suitable for adults and teenagers alike, containing no offensive language or images of graphic sex, with the added bonus of being vegetarian friendly. If you are a reader of a nervous disposition when it comes to scenes of gruesome carnage – well, perhaps this book is not for you. Or is it? The world needs to find another hero… and heroes can come from the most unlikely sources…
