On Havensea there is no such...

Jim Glass is going back to Havensea in rather better shape than when he left and is looking forward to a long spell of peace and quiet. But trouble is stirring again and it isn't long before his life is turned upside down - in more ways than one.

Secret Songs is the second book in the Havensea trilogy, following on from The Forgotten Stars. The trilogy will conclude with The Hand of Fire.

Meanwhile, Jim finds out much more about himself than he ever expected. Havensea may be sleepy on the surface but something dark and strange is bubbling away underneath it all. But what is it? How can Jim stop it? And what is the price he must pay? The Hand of Fire is the final book in the Havensea trilogy. The first two volumes are The Forgotten Stars and Secret Songs.
