One week from today... THIS little baby goes on sale!! Book 4 in my new Archibald Lox series. It's also the first book of the second Volume in the series, with books 5 and 6 following in August and September respectively.

It's been getting a fab reception from reviewers on Goodreads who managed to get their hands on an advance copy...

"A solid entertaining ride that includes a giant chase scene that interrupts our Locksmith from doing what he does best, and leads us into an adventure of pizazz, new abilities, and wonderment." - Thomas Paxton.

"book 4 truly proves that Shan is a master storyteller." - Kelly Smith Reviews.

"I've come to expect a high standard of story from this author, as I've devoured so many of his previous works. This latest installment in the Archibald Lox series did not disappoint!" - Rachel Hobbs.

"I do recommend giving Master Lox's story a go, it is such a beautiful world, the Merge." - Carrie.

The eBook costs $2.99 (or your local equivalent) and you can pre-order it for delivery to your device on July 1st from any of the following stores:

Amazon: http://mybook.to/archie4ebook

Apple, B&N, Kobo, etc: https://books2read.com/u/mKRAxL

Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/books/details/Darren_Shan_Archibald_Lox_and_the_Forgotten_Crypt?id=JkArEAAAQBAJ

The paperback costs $8.99 (or a similar price in your local currency), though if you insist on a physical copy, and don't mind waiting a while, you might want to hold on for the Volume 2 omnibus edition (I'll probably release it in the spring of 2022, if not earlier), which will collect books 4, 5 and 6 at a much reduced price...

If you haven't yet started the series, you can get the ebooks of all three Volume 1 books for just $2.99 in total -- find out more about that offer here: https://darrenshan.com/news/article/8-days-and-counting
