the book narrated by the author)
Tom should be asleep. Everyone should.
But when he wakes in the middle of the night, the world is not as it should be. There is an eighth day hidden between Sunday and Monday. It is called Malladay. While the human world lies fast asleep, something older walks freely.
On Malladay, animals speak. Ancient paths reopen. Rules exist that no one remembers writing. And no human is meant to wake.
As Tom is drawn deeper into the Other Place, he must navigate a day that does not belong to him, uncover why he alone is conscious within it, and find his way back before Malladay slips quietly into Monday again.
Because if he fails to return to sleep, the boundary that protects both worlds may not hold.
The Warrior Awakens
Tom is taken in his sleep.
Bound and blindfolded, he is carried through the Gate Between and driven deep into the Other Place by captors who fear the Master they serve. With Malladay slipping steadily towards Monday, Tom is racing a clock he cannot see.
On the other side of the gate, Max refuses to give up. Rallying the Snuffle Squadron, he leads a desperate pursuit across ancient passes and treacherous mountain paths.
But this time, Malladay has woken more than one human.
When Tom’s younger sister Emily discovers the truth about the hidden eighth day, she makes a choice that will carry her through henges, into Avalon, and towards the Lady of the Lake herself.
The hunt is on.
The clock is ticking.
And Malladay is far more dangerous than anyone realised.
Virago
The world is not ending.It is unravelling.
Truth bends. Memories blur. What people believe begins to shift, and with it, the shape of reality itself. A force called Glamour is seeping through the cracks, not with fire or thunder, but with distortion, turning certainty into doubt and doubt into fracture.
Malladay was created to keep magic and humankind apart. That ancient separation is weakening.
To hold it together, Tom and Emily must seek the last living lines of resistance, descendants of the Knights of the Round Table whose inheritance is more than legend. Across ancient stones and failing thresholds, they race to strengthen what is breaking, knowing that every faltering belief feeds the thing they are trying to stop.
This time, magic is not a wonder. It is erosion. And if Glamour is allowed to take root, the world will not fall.
It will forget what it was.
