The Last Siege - by Jonathan Stroud

2003

Hyperion Paperbacks for Children

Finished summer 2007

Description
A chance encounter on the snowy slopes of a castle moat throws together three lonely teenagers: Emily, Simon, and the highly imaginative and enigmatic Marcus.
At first, the castle's ruins are merely the back drop to a day in the snow. But when the three break into the forbidden interior of the keep, they find the castle taking on a different, and deeper, meaning. Despite the freezing conditions, they spend the night there, to experience the power of occupation.
But when the reenactment gets out of control a very real siege ensues, and their playful dare soon turns into a frenzy nightmarish action.
