In 2007 Sophie Lancaster was murdered just for looking different. She dressed alternatively. Some people say as a Goth. Inspired by her story, HATE is a hard-hitting real-life thriller about friendship, courage, loss, forgiveness and about our society and communities. Eve's older sister, Rosie, was bright and alive and always loved being the centre of attention. Then one day, she is brutally murdered. Six months later, Eve meets Antony and discovers that he was there the night Rosie died and did nothing to help. Is there any way she can ever get past that? Inspired by the tragic murder of Sophie Lancaster, which saw Sophie and her partner Rob viciously attacked in Stubbylee Park, Bacup, Lancashire because of the way they dressed, this is a hard-hitting real-life thriller about friendship, courage, loss, forgiveness and about our society and communities.

384 pages (July 6, 2006) Stunning new fantasy sequence from the author of the Blue Peter Book Award winning Shadow of the Minotaur. It has always been this way. The Helati are slaves. Each month, at the full moon, they are expelled to face the demon host, the Lost Souls. But something has changed in the fabric of the times. The demons are controlled by a new master, the Darkwing. Now the danger is permanent, the horror incessant. In a southern port, however, a fourteen year old slave girl, oblivious of her destiny, holds the key to ending the nightmare of the Lost Souls. But will she ever understand the secret that is hidden deep in her memory, the secret of the Black Tower? Alan Gibbons' latest novel is an epic fantasy that takes you through a fabled land, reminiscent of a mythical ancient India. On a roller-coaster ride you will meet shape-shifters, demons, magic, tyrants, an evil lord who is master of the living dead and countless fighters for evil...and for good.
The Helat rebels think they have broken the demon lord's power and are ready to challenge their master, the Sol-ket. But the Darkwing is merely biding his time and the Sol-ket will fight to their last breath to keep control of their golden cities. The power of the slaves is mounting as they rise to fulfil once-forbidden prophecies. When the Darkwing returns for the final onslaught, is anyone, soldier or slave, equipped to defeat him- especially as the cruel sun sets, beckoning a devastatingly relentless winter? A brilliant continuation of the journey, begun in Rise of the Blood Moon, the novel also stands alone, with its own twists, turns and surprises for characters and readers alike. Be prepared for changes of allegiance, surprise new arrivals and sudden deaths. Page-turning and unpredictable from start to finish.
