Tersias has had two releases, one for the original copy and a second for a special edition version.

A short review in the Observer newspaper called the book a "vivid tale of sorcery and violence".

[1] The story starts off after Wormwood was destroyed and was sent to the dark side of the moon.

Just as London was starting to recover from the disaster, Malachi, a magician, kept a blind boy named Tersias.

Many people wanted to use Tersias's powers for themselves: Malachi, himself; Jonah, a teenage highwayman and his partner, Tara; Solomon, a zealot, who plans on using his experiments (flesh-eating locusts) and Lord Malphas, a keeper of mysterious powers.
