When Seckry Sevenstars is forced out of his village by the greedy Endrin Corporation and relocated to the daunting metropolis of Skyfall City, he harbours resentment for the company and vows to get them back one day for taking away his home, his school and his friends. Fortunately, the marvels of the city do a good job in distracting Seckry from his anger and homesickness, and it isn't long before he's competing at Friction (the city's most popular multiplayer video game), slurping awe-inspiring multicoloured milkshakes, and getting butterflies on his first date. Then, when a mysterious email asks Seckry to break into the headquarters of the Endrin Corporation and steal a container full of worms for a hefty sum of money, his anger resurfaces, and he can't resist the revenge he promised himself. Alone at night, Seckry creeps through the sewers whilst wondering what experiments Endrin might be doing on the worms, and emerges into the silent complex. But the worms aren't the only thing that he finds. Staring at him through the darkness, with wide, innocent eyes, is something that makes Seckry's heart almost stop. A girl. She's shaking, petrified, and has no recollection of who she is or what she's doing there. Floodlights bleach the area and Seckry has no choice but to grab a hold of the girl and escape with her. Suddenly the question of what Endrin were doing with a few worms becomes the last thing on Seckry's mind. What were Endrin doing with a human?

City of the Falling Sky (the Seckry Sequence Book 1)

It's Seckry Sevenstars' second year at Estergate Institute, and things are already shaping up to be just as eventful as the first; a revolting looking Nasty has appeared in the Food Grabber machine, a new lesson called fringe science has been added to his timetable, Mrs Cutson is acting more sadistic than ever, and two exchange students from Norsegate have arrived, causing trouble and provoking Seckry and his friends. On top of this, the twenty eighth Friction Mega Meltdown is fast approaching, and Seckry can't wait to transform into Anikam so he can revenge on Norsegate in the best way possible - by winning the trophy for the second year in a row! But with a major update having just been implemented, can Seckry and his teammates adapt quickly enough to outwit their opponents and capture the win? With homework mounting and Friction training at its most intense, Seckry has very little time for distractions, but Kevan Kayne, thought to be dead, has appeared in the city, and suddenly, Seckry is forced to rethink everything he knew about Eiya's existence. Also, after realising that the blank birthday card last year was actually from his father, he cannot help but try to uncover the truth behind his mysterious disappearance, and in his quest for answers, Seckry unearths long forgotten secrets buried within the school grounds. Secrets that will change his life forever. Get ready to join Seckry and friends for another epic adventure in this thrilling sequel to the bestselling City of the Falling Sky.
