The Devil’s Apprentice
by Jan Siegel is published in October by Raven Stone/ Rebellion (£7.99):
“The Devil is retiring – but who’s taking over?
Wearied by endless aeons of immortality, the Dark
Lord in his Dark Tower plans to lapse into limbo till the end of Time. But
he still has to choose a successor to take over his evil empire, someone to
wear the Horned Crown, wield the Sceptre of Fire, and sit behind the gleaming
Desk in the Circular Office overseeing the downfall of humanity. The ancient
spirits who might have followed him are all weakened or jaded; he must find a
mortal heir (or heiress), who will sit on his throne and assume his immortal powers.
A group of would-be apprentices, young, enthusiastic, and malleable, are
trapped in a space/ time prism, in various dimensions of magic and the past,
undergoing hideous trials to turn them to the dark side. Those who survive – if
any – will emerge to compete for the ultimate prize…”
