The Court Daggers (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798550886809)

When Tate court is demolished, it releases evil that has been buried within its grounds for hundreds of years. The spirit of Elena Ardelean is released and she is bent on revenge for being sentenced to death by Judge Oliver Winchester who believed her to be a vampire. Before she died, she cursed the world threatening a vampire virus which would wipe out the whole world. Her prophesy was linked to the vampire daggers. There are only three vampire daggers in the whole world. The Judge ordered his successors at Tate Court to guard two of them, but they failed miserably. 'By order of Judge Oliver Winchester on 21st June 1820 the weapons duly acquired from Elena Ardelean deceased be conferred upon the Judges of Tate Court TO HOLD the same UNTIL their use by the chosen ones. Tate Court shall stand possessed of the weapons thereby assured UPON TRUST to protect them PENDING the vampire prophesy.'Professor Krishan Hardy finds one of the vampire daggers as a child whilst playing with his brother Roger in their home in France. He goes on to become a Professor of Pharmacology whilst Roger works at Tate court as a prison guard. That way Professor Hardy gets Roger to help him experiment on criminals locked up in the prison cells. He has been testing a new drug on criminals. He is very secretive about this drug. The last criminal he experimented on at Tate Court was Jeffrey Dracup. He escaped with one of the vampire daggers from the court cellar. Both Roger Hardy's body and that of Jeffrey Dracup are missing. That was five years ago and the court prison cells were blocked up after that incident. Emma and Lina, friends from school become embroiled in an adventure when Emma's mother, Melinda starts to date Professor Kris Hardy many years after the court cells were closed. Emma stands up for her Romanian friend Lina who is being bullied at school. However, her teacher thinks she is the one causing trouble so she is sent home. Her mother collects her and takes her back to Tate Court where she works. Emma finds one of the daggers when she helps clear out Tate court just before the building is knocked down for good. She thinks it might be worth something and takes it home with her. She finds it unnerving so she asks her friend Lina to keep it at her home. Whilst guarding the dagger, Judge Oliver Winchester as protector of the dagger appears to her. The Judge is like a knight on a secret mission as protector of the vampire daggers. Once back at school, Lina tells Emma about this and the Judge appears to them both. He wants them to defeat the vampire queen who left a note before she was hanged: 'My curse will be complete when the court doth crumbleLike a volcano that is calm for centuriesMy virus will spread like a lavaUntil it swallows the human saga.'Will these two fifteen-year old students save the world and their own future? Are these two pupils the chosen ones? They will have to make the right decisions based upon courage and intellect. "One will rise One will fall One will be a shieldTogether they will yieldA new beginningBound by blood.'
