Book Synopsis
Be careful what you witch for...
Ollie is back on the Brickside, and he's living on borrowed time.
He thought his mission was simple: Follow the clues and find the key. Fast.
But when the "clues" are enigmas written in blood and the "key" has been split into pieces and scattered around Boston, it doesn't take long for that mission to crumble like a North End cookie.
The trail leads Ollie deep into the underbelly of the city's most recognizable landmarks and beyond-all the way back to the place where the trouble began. Herrick's home. The place of his sin.
Salem.
The answers are out there, somewhere. And Ollie intends to find them. But first, it seems, he'll have to decipher codes, infiltrate the world's most unlikely coven, survive brutal betrayals, see the unseen, solve riddles, commune with turtles, walk with ghosts, and maybe even learn to fly, all in an effort to uncover the clouded truths of the past.
Water, earth, air. Three points make one key.
The key, he knows, will open the door.
What he doesn't yet know? Some doors should never be opened.
Review Quotes
"A satisfying end to a series that never failed to produce. The Neath Trilogy is a splash of Neverland, a scoop of Dante's Inferno, and sprinkle of Wonderland. It's a world that you'll gladly get lost in."
Jon and Dayna McConnell, authors of The Time Trials series
"I was totally captivated by this twisting, turning, darkly funny adventure, where magic hides in plain sight and nothing is quite what it seems. Fans of TJ Klune, Brandon Sanderson, and GennaRose Nethercott will devour Herrick's Key."
- Jane Roper, The Society of Shame
"An action-packed package-turner that kept me under its spell from the first page to the last, HERRICK'S KEY is the satisfying final installment in a YA fantasy trilogy filled with heart, humor, and hope. Ollie Delgato is a hero for the ages, and his adventures through (and underneath!) the city of Boston and through witch-filled Salem will forever change how readers view and experience these iconic and historic New England landscapes.
Can Ollie solve the puzzles, beat the ticking clock, talk to sea creatures, save the world from looming disaster - and get the girl? A quest worth devouring. Third time's a charm."
-Julie Gerstenblatt, Daughters of Nantucket
