Count Karlstein

by Philip Pullman

On All Souls Eve, no one in Karlstein dares leave their homes—Zamiel, the Demon Huntsman, is coming to claim his prey. But a dark bargain struck by the evil Count Karlstein puts his young nieces, Lucy and Charlotte, in grave danger. Their only hope lies with Hildi, a brave castle maidservant, and her fearless brother Peter. Can they rescue the girls before Zamiel returns to his shadowy woods?
