A city has many lives and layers. London has more than most. A 12-year-old boy named George Chapman is about to find this out the hard way. On a school trip he's punished for something he didn't do. In a tiny act of rebellion, he lashes out at a small carving on the wall - unexpectedly breaking it off. And then something horrible does happen: a stone pterodactyl unpeels form the wall and starts chasing him. George is already running before his mind starts trying to tell him that this is impossible!

Now that George Chapman has upset the fragile truce between the warring statues of London, he has been drawn into a war that will test his mettle. He and Edie, a glint who can see the past, may have succeeded in their quest to find the Stoneheart, but their journey is far from over.

The battle between the statues and gargoyles of London rages on in the conclusion to the international blockbuster!

Once there were hundreds of members of the Oversight, the brave souls who guard the borders between the mundane and the magic. Now there are only five. When a vagabond brings a screaming girl to the Oversight's London headquarters, she could answer their hopes for new recruit, or she could be the instrument of their downfall.

The Last Hand of the Oversight still patrols the border between the natural and supranatural, holding a candle to the darkness. But this new Hand is unproven, its fresh members untrained, its veterans weary and battle-scarred. Their vulnerability brings new enemies into the city and surprising new allies from across the sea.

Author Charlie Fletcher joins Elise Italiaander in the Audible studios to discuss his latest novel.

The Oversight of London has been sworn for millennia to prevent the natural and the supernatural worlds from preying on each other. Now, at its lowest ebb, with its headquarters destroyed and its last members scattered far and wide, this secret society will battle for survival and face the harshest foe it has ever met: itself.

Those who belong to the secret society called The Oversight know many things. They know cold iron will hold back the beasts in the darkness. They know it is dangerous to stand between two mirrors. And they know that despite their dwindling numbers, it remains their duty to protect humanity from the predations of the supernatural. And vice versa. But two of the society's strongest members, Mr. Sharp and Sara Falk, are trapped in the world between the mirrors, looking for each other, searching for a way back home.

"L'Oversight è più pericolosa quando è in difficoltà. Ci sono molti morti o dispersi che non ricordano..." I membri dell'Oversight di Londra hanno fatto giuramento per millenni di impedire al mondo naturale e quello soprannaturale di darsi la caccia a vicenda. Ora che sta attraversando il suo momento più difficile, con la sede distrutta e gli ultimi membri sparsi chissà dove, questa società segreta dovrà combattere per la sopravvivenza e affrontare il nemico più insidioso che abbia mai incontrato: sé stessa.

L'attesissimo sequel di "Oversight", imperdibile per i fan di Neil Gaiman e Philip Pullman. Coloro che appartengono alla società segreta Oversight conoscono molte cose. Sanno per esempio che il ferro freddo è in grado di ricacciare le bestie della notte nell'oscurità, o che ritrovarsi tra due specchi non sempre è una buona idea... E sanno anche che il loro compito è proteggere l'umanità dalle forze soprannaturali, nonostante il loro numero stia drasticamente diminuendo e i nemici siano ormai alle porte.

Londra, metà Ottocento. L'organizzazione segreta Oversight ha il compito sia di proteggere gli esseri umani privi di poteri magici dalle scorribande degli esseri fatati di ogni genere, sia di difendere il mondo magico dalle ingiustizie perpetrate - più o meno involontariamente - dall'umanità che avanza a grandi passi verso la modernizzazione.

The Oversight of London has been sworn for millennia to prevent the natural and the supernatural worlds from preying on each other. Now, at its lowest ebb, with its headquarters destroyed and its last members scattered far and wide, this secret society will battle for survival and face the harshest foe it has ever met: itself.
