The Nightmare Plague (The Pendulum World Chronicles Book 1)

After their father, the village’s master alchemist, disappears without a trace, Jarick and Janthine Grimes are left alone to face a deadly plague. Bramblemoor has always been a quiet, isolated village. That changes when a horrific epidemic appears among the townsfolk, trapping them in a world of never-ending nightmares that cause them to turn on each other. Now is the chance for the fledgling alchemists to prove that they can follow in their father’s footsteps.

One old book in their father’s library contains a possible cure. When they find it’s been stolen, the two undertake a journey to recover it. They are totally unprepared for what they find - the culprits are a secret order of sorcerers who need the book to harness a vast demonic power that’s about to be unleashed.

The children discover that the sinister order is also behind their father’s mysterious disappearance. Now they must battle the powerful magic-users while trying to learn the answers they’re seeking. But they know – there’s little time to recover the remedy to the plague before they return home to a village of corpses!
