March 1348.

Evil lurks in Crowfield Abbey and the building is starting to collapse. Fay creatures have fled the surrounding forest in terror.

Repairs begin and William is given the job of lifting floor tiles in a haunted side chapel. There he finds a box from an earlier pagan time containing a small wooden bowl, covered with strange warnings and symbols.

The bowl is cursed and a hideous demon is unleashed within the Abbey’s walls, that will wreak unspeakable havoc. Can Will and his friends summon help in time or is it the end of Crowfield forever?

'[Walsh] is a wonderful storyteller, and the creepy sense of foreboding ... is really tangible.'
The Bookseller
'Once again Pat Walsh brings the cloistered world of Crowfield vividly to life.'

' ... thrilling ... '
Amanda Craig, The Times
'The battle between good and evil is intense and frightening, keeping readers on edge.'
Schools Library Journal, USA

"William’s story continues in THE CROWFIELD DEMON. The abbey hides many secrets, and secrets have a habit of returning to haunt those who keep them. The demon is a part of Crowfield’s dark past, and it is left to William and his loyal friends, Brother Walter the hob, the kind and wise Brother Snail and the enigmatic fay warrior, Shadlok, to fight an ancient evil if the abbey is to survive."
