'An irresistible, magical adventure' Vashti Hardy, author of Wildspark
When Edith Wight is sent to spend the summer with her eccentric uncle, she has no idea what is in store.
Her uncle, the Doctor, runs a vet practice in a remote part of the New Forest, shrouded in secrecy. The reason for the mystery surrounding it, Edith discovers, is none other than the protection of some of the Earth's most unusual animals - creatures that most believe only exist in folklore.
Then the Doctor receives a summons from the Himalayas to help a family of yetis and Edith finds herself on the voyage of a lifetime.
But Edith and the Doctor are not the only ones taking an interest in the yetis... The Doctor's old enemies, the Syndicate are on a mission to hunt down every last mythical creature on Earth.

Edith Wight can't wait to stay with her uncle, doctor to incredible magical animals and beasts, for the Christmas holidays.
She's expecting to be reunited with all her friends, both animal and human and celebrate the holidays together - but adventure is afoot as one of only six phoenixes left in the world is missing and at peril.
Accompanied by Arnold and Francis, the SAS head to a remote part of Bavaria to track down the phoenix, only to encounter a new foe more deadly and dangerous than they could have possibly imagined... a villain who is using the phoenix ashes to create new magical hybrid beasts to sell to the Syndicate.
The SAS must free the phoenix and destroy the Syndicate, before the phoenixes are lost forever.

No longer working at the West Country clinic, he's marrying the girl of his dreams while launching his own practice, Pilgrims. On top of that, he's managing his international veterinary charity (WVS) and two other veterinary businesses. On his extreme travels around the world, Luke dodges hippos and chimps, and swaps the familiar farms of home for the refugee camps of Africa, all on his idealistic quest to make a difference.
But Luke is more than just an international vet. He's also a husband, a friend, an entrepreneur and, potentially, an Ironman triathlete. Does he have what it takes to juggle it all?
