Half Bad

By Sally Green

Book Overview

"Highly entertaining and dangerously addictive."-- Time Magazine An international bestseller, translated into more than 50 languages Sixteen-year-old Nathan lives in a cage: beaten, shackled, trained to kill. In a modern-day England where two warring factions of witches live amongst humans, Nathan is an abomination, the illegitimate son of the world's most terrifying and violent witch, Marcus. Nathan's only hope for survival is to escape his captors, track down Marcus, and receive the three gifts that will bring him into his own magical powers--before it's too late. But how can Nathan find his father when his every action is monitored, when there is no one safe to trust, not even family, not even the girl he loves? Half Bad is an international sensation and the start of a brilliant trilogy: a gripping tale of alienation and the indomitable will to survive.

Favorite books

This trilogy of books are my favorite. I read them in high school 4 years ago and still love them to this day. It’s a very good read, I couldn’t put it down.
