“Chapter 11 is the best. You’ll cry your eyes out!” —Clara Oswald
“When summer falls, the Lord of Winter will arise…”
In the seaside village of Watchcombe, young Kate is determined to make the most of her last week of summer holiday. But when she discovers a mysterious painting entitled The Lord of Winter in a charity shop, it leads her on an adventure she never could have planned.
Kate soon realises the old seacape, painted long ago by an eccentric local artist, is actually a puzzle. And with the help of some bizarre new acquaintances – including a museum curator’s magical cat, a miserable neighbour, and a lonely boy – she plans on solving it.
And then, one morning Kate wakes up to a world changed forever. For the Lord of Winter is coming – and Kate has a very important decision to make.

I do hope it’s better than the first Castle tie-in novel, which was apparently written by someone who didn’t actually know what a sentence was. Do we know who the actual author is?
Apparently, it’s James Goss http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Goss_(producer)
Yeah, that was awful. Unreadable.
Oh joy. Yet ANOTHER ebook in a proprietary Amazon-created format my first-run Nook can’t read.
Stripping the DRM and converting to an open format is a pretty trivial task, assuming you are willing to pay for damaged good in the first place.
