Publisher Description

There seemed nothing odd about Luke to begin with – except perhaps the snakes. If they were snakes, that is… David wasn’t sure.

"Just kindle a flame and I’ll be with you," says Luke. David thinks he’s joking, but certainly, whenever he strikes a match, Luke appears immediately.

But David’s new friend seems to have some extraordinary friends and relations, and some very dark secrets. And when David enters into a bargain with the mysterious one-eyed Mr Wedding, life gets very hot indeed!

Reviews

“…Her hallmarks include laugh-aloud humour, plenty of magic and imaginative array of alternate worlds. Yet, at the same time, a great seriousness is present in all of her novels, a sense of urgency that links Jones’s most outrageous plots to her readers’ hopes and fears…”
Publishers Weekly
