In the dark, foreboding sewers of Deptford, a mysterious entity known as Jupiter, Lord of All, reigns supreme, worshipped by a horde of rats who cower in its presence.

Into this world of fear and darkness wanders a small, frightened mouse named Albert, unwittingly triggering a chain of events that will hurl his fellow mice into a world of terror and heroic adventure.

As the rats seek to summon the demon hordes and bring about the end of the world, the Deptford Mice must confront treacherous enemies and ancient magic in a battle to save London and the world from eternal darkness.

About the Author

Robin Jarvis is a British children's author who has entertained (and pleasantly terrified) generations of children with his brilliantly imagined dark fantasy stories, including the Deptford Mice and Whitby Witches series. He studied graphic design in Newcastle and then worked in television and advertising making model monsters and puppets before writing The Dark Portal, the first book on the Deptford Mice series, which was the runner up for the Smarties book prize in 1989.
