  The unnamed narrator of the story goes into the middle of the Arabian Peninsula to seek out and enter a lost city. After hearing a clanging seemingly coming from deep inside the earth, the narrator inspects mysterious carvings and ruins until nightfall. The next day, the narrator discovers a cliff riddled with low-ceilinged buildings, unfit for human use. While he attends to his suddenly nervous camel, the narrator discovers a somewhat larger temple, with altars, painted murals, and a small staircase going down. After he descends, his torch dies, and he crawls on his hands and knees until he enters a hallway with small wooden coffins containing bizarre reptiles inside of them lining the walls. The narrator notices a large amount of light coming from an unknown source. After crawling to it on his hands and knees, he sees a large brass door with a descent into a misty portal. He then hears moaning coming from the coffin passage, and feels a strong wind coming from the passage, trying to pull him down. Against all odds, he resists, and sees what appear to be reptiles with a body shaped like a cross between a crocodile and a seal with a strange head common to neither of them, involving a protruding forehead, horns, lack of a nose, and an alligator-like jaw crawling behind the lit portal. The wind dies down after the last of it flows down into the light, when suddenly the door closes behind the narrator, leaving him in the dark.

  'An atmospheric gothic mystery, with hope at its heart. The Surgeon's House gripped me from the first page' Jodie Matthews
  London, 1883.
  The brutal murder of Rose Parmiter seems, at first glance, to be a random and senseless act. Rose was the beloved cook at Evergreen House, a place of refuge for women and children, a place from which they can start their lives afresh. Proprietor Rebecca Harris is profoundly shocked by the death of her dear friend and alarmed at the mysterious events which begin to unfold shortly afterwards. Could the past be casting a shadow on the present? The malign legacy of the Everley family who called Evergreen home, cannot be ignored.
  After two further deaths it becomes clear there is an evil presence infecting their sanctuary, and Rebecca must draw out the poison of the past so the Evergreen residents can finally make peace with the darkness in their lives.
  'A gripping, intelligent gothic novel that lingers well beyond its final page' Historical Novels Review

  "What killed him?" asked Reynard. 
  "We don't know it seems like it may have been a dark enchantment," said Death. 
  "Oh?" said Reynard, "Yes what sort of enchantment?" 
  "We are reading up on it in our library of enchantments," said Death. 
  A grim reaper walked out of a dark portal between the dimensions of the living and the dead. 
  "Dante, hi," said Death to the reaper who was his assistant. 
  "Hi, Blake," said Dante the reaper. 
  "Anything new?" asked Death. 
  "Yes we found the spell," said Dante. 
  "What was it?" asked Death. 
  "It came from the Book of Death," Dante said. 
  "You have a book?" said Reynard. 
  "No, its not my book! It's the Egyptian Book of the Dead," said Death. 
  "It's real?" asked Reynard. 
  "Yes," said Dante. 
  "Is it a rogue reaper killing people?" asked Reynard. 
  "No it could be anyone it was lost ages ago?" said Death. 
  "Where?" asked Reynard. 
  "We don't know?" said Death. 
  "How could you lose a cursed book?" asked Reynard shocked. 
  "We don't know it was lost," said Death. 
  Reynard understood, but felt no comfort that a killer had it now.
