Hollowthorn

Jewish magic and mythology take center stage in this spellbinding sequel to “Ravenfall,” in which two kids with supernatural powers must venture beyond the veil to protect the Tree of Life from a terrifying foe, or risk losing the magic of Ravenfall forever.

It's been over a month since Anna Ballinkay and Colin Pierce defeated the King of Demons on Halloween night, saving the magical Ravenfall Inn they call home. Now, with Hannukah approaching, the kids are looking forward to some peace and quiet, and maybe a little challah and peppermint cocoa, too. Not to mention, Anna's father has just returned to the inn after a long expedition, and Anna is excited to show off her newfound object-reading powers, if she can get him to pay attention to her for two seconds.

But soon after, a Raven-AKA a guardian of the veil, like Colin-appears at the inn with a plea for help. Salem, the old Raven, tells them that a powerful being is hunting down the Tree of Life, a source of untold power located in the Otherworld. If they don't stop this foe, their world could be drained of magic forever.

As they set out on their mission, Anna and Colin discover a wondrous, menacing realm full of mythological creatures beyond the veil. But as Salem begins to mentor Colin and develop his Raven powers, Anna suspects that Salem isn't quite what he seems. Is the true danger in their midst?
