This is a second draft of what will hopefully be my first real novel. For those of you who've read the other one posted up here, this is quite different in places. For a start, I've changed many of the characters' names, which might confuse you.

Obviously, edited it and edited again, I'm maybe going to try for publishing. If I do manage it, I'm afraid it'll have to come off Protag, which is a shame. This is probably the last 'edition' I'll post on here: if you want the fully updated edition, finished and polished, you'll have to buy it in the future!

Advertising over - enjoy :)

Latin/Gaelic Passage in chapter 14 -The Lord’s Prayer:
Our father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

Gaelic Passage in chapter 20 - With thanks to Alipix, please excuse any errors on my part.
I banish you in the name of all that is good and right, all that is just and fair. I banish you to the Otherworld, that you be bound by the rules we agreed never to return to this place. I banish you to a hell that you must endure for all of time, a place where you cannot reach my people. They are safe from you now.
