Series: The Haven

You don't know it exists, but when you have nowhere

else to turn, the Haven will find you ... An adrenaline-fuelled adventure in a new series by top thriller

writer Simon Lelic.

Our city. Our secret. Our rules.

Alone. On the run. Ollie Turner has nowhere to hide.

But he gets a second chance. Underneath the city there's a secret organisation, far from adult eyes.

It's called the Haven.

Soon Ollie is caught up in their battle: to stop Maddy Sikes destroying the city. Time is running out for Ollie and his new friends, and millions of lives are at stake ...
