Greer has one last chance to defeat the shadowy, sinister cult that is the Dark Order of the Grand Stag. To do so, she must once again accept a dangerous invitation, this time to a midsummer hunt...

Nel and Shafeen will be there to protect her, and so will Henry de Warlencourt. But can Greer trust Henry? He is one of the murderous de Warlencourts after all, even though he insists he has changed sides. And Greer is drawn to both Shafeen and Henry. As their fraught love triangle evolves, should she put her life -- and her heart -- in Henry's hands?

The alluring yet corrupt STAGS society, where the rich and privileged play fast and loose with the lives of others, is revealed to be terrifyingly global ...

Shafeen's father, Prince Aadhish, has had a heart attack and is close to death. Desperately worried, Shafeen and Greer race from STAGS to Rajasthan. But Prince Aadhish is in a coma and unresponsive and they begin to realise that the Prince received a terrible shock, triggered by a decades-old guilty secret. But as Shafeen and Greer attempt to unlock the secret, they come to believe the answer lies with the de Warlencourt ancestor Colonel Montgomery, founder of the T.I.G.E.R. shooting club, which horrifyingly pursued low-caste Indians instead of tigers. It appears that 'Monty' brought the Order of the Stag to India, and the hunts may still be going on...

A thrilling next instalment in the STAGS series.

Akcja powieści DOGS M.A. Bennet rozpoczyna się bezpośrednio po zakończeniu fabuły STAGS. Po dramatycznych wydarzeniach ostatnich tygodni Greer Macdonald próbuje się skupić na szkole. Szukając dramatu, który mogłaby wyreżyserować w ramach egzaminu, otrzymuje niespodziewaną pomoc. Ktoś wsuwa pod jej drzwi bezcenny, zaginiony od lat rękopis – „Wyspę psów” Bena Jonsona. Za panowania Elżbiety I dramat uznano za tak niebezpieczny, że autorowi zarzucono bluźnierstwo, podżeganie do buntu, zdradę, promowanie diabelskich rytuałów i czarnej magii – cały wachlarz grzechów potępianych w epoce elżbietańskiej, a wszystkie egzemplarze tekstu spalono. Wszystkie... oprócz jednego. Greer marzy o studiach w Oksfordzie, a co zapewni jej miejsce na elitarnej uczelni jeśli nie wyreżyserowanie zaginionej sztuki z szesnastego wieku?

Gdy zaczynają się próby, sprawy przyjmują coraz mroczniejszy obrót i prowadzą Greer do miejsca, którego nie zamierzała już nigdy odwiedzać – Longcross Hall.

Tam dokonuje nieprzyjemnego odkrycia, że nie tylko Zakon Jelenia przetrwał niedawne zdarzenia bez szwanku. Być może duchy z przeszłości także…

Greer has just recovered from her terrifying experience during the STAGS play. Was she really put on trial by the sinister Dark Order of the Grand Stag? Or was it purely her overheated imagination? The imprint of an 'M' for murderer that has appeared on her thumb, though, is puzzling but incomplete evidence . . .

Meanwhile Ty is staying on at Longcross Manor and Greer, Nel and Shafeen are increasingly worried for her safety. When Ty sends a cryptic message directing them to Cumberland Place, the de Warlencourts' palatial home in London, they decide to risk a visit. There they meet Henry's grieving parents, Rollo and Caro. Rollo is arrogant, entitled and not overly grieving. Caro, however, while superficially charming, is clearly pushed to the brink of madness by Henry's death, insisting that Henry is still alive. Which is clearly impossible . . . but Greer has her own troubling doubts about Henry's death which make it hard to dismiss Caro completely . . .

Can Greer, Shafeen and Nel work out what Rollo de Warlencourt is planning for his deadly Boxing Day Hunt at Longcross in time to save Ty - who has now gone silent? Or will history horribly repeat itself?

After the dramatic events of the last few weeks, Greer Macdonald is trying to concentrate on her A levels. Stuck for a play to direct for her drama exam, she gets help from an unexpected quarter . . .

A priceless lost play, buried by time, is pushed under her door. It is Ben Jonson's The Isle of Dogs, a play considered so dangerous in Elizabethan times that every copy was burned . . . except one. As the students begin to rehearse it, events become increasingly dark and strange, and they lead Greer back to where she never thought she would return - Longcross Hall.

There she discovers that not only is the Order of the Stag alive and well, but that a ghost from the past might be too . . .

Greer MacDonald has just started as a scholarship student at the exclusive St. Aidan the Great boarding school, known to its privileged pupils as STAGS. STAGS is a place where new things--and new people--are to be avoided. And in her first days there, Greer is ignored at best and mocked at worst by the school's most admired circle of friends, the Medievals. So, naturally, Greer is taken by surprise when the Medievals send her an invitation to a sought-after weekend retreat at the private family estate of their unofficial leader, Henry de Warlencourt. It's billed as a weekend of "huntin' shootin' fishin'." As the weekend begins to take…
