Pip thinks so too, until the day he meets Perfect, a small stone gargoyle with a life of her own.Before long, the two find themselves in the midst of an assassination attempt against the new king, escaping into the cold dark night, being chased across the fens by a man bent on killing them...
Boring? Not so much.

Pip the orphan and Perfect the stone gargoyle find themselves caught up in a mad search for buried treasure, which leads them right across the marshes, all the way to the dreaded Black Bog, the very last place they want to be.And all the while, they can't shake the feeling they're being watched ...

"It's the harshest winter anyone can remember. The vast waterways of the fens are frozen solid, transformed into an ice road. The [cold and ice] are ideal for a surprise invasion by young King Arnald's banished uncle. Wickit Monastery is under threat too. A bitter illness has struck down almost all the brothers.

The Fens are flooding, but as the water rises relentlessly, it isn't just local folk who come to find shelter at Wickit Abbey. Pip the orphan and Perfect the stone gargoyle meet up with a mysterious stranger - a man with a murky past who has actually heard the ghostly sound of a Witch Bell. Hot on his trail is the Holy Hunter, sniffing out demons and devils and any who have been in contact with witches. By accident, Pip becomes his quarry. Can Perfect, some red ribbons and a handful of pepper save the day? Or will Pip be overcome by the worst danger he has ever faced?
