The Series

"There's a time and a place for everything."

Beneath the busy streets of Chancery Lane lies The London Repository, a secret subterranean archive known only to a select few. An archive with a mysterious purpose.



Maddie Brooks is always in the wrong place at the wrong time. After moving back to London, her first day at a new school is a complete disaster, and her luck only seems to get worse from there.

But then, right when she needs it most, Maddie is offered a mysterious work experience placement, and a choice.

Choosing to accept the offer, she finds herself immediately swept up in a group of candidates, all more prepared and knowledgeable than she is. All vying for a single chance.

A chance to change their luck forever.

She must prove she has what it takes if she ever hopes to learn the true purpose behind The London Repository.

The Last Composition series follows Maddie as she discovers the hidden world of Proponents and Repositories.

A world where skilled Composers are responsible for making sure things are in the right place at the right time.

I've been told 'There's a time and a place for everything' more times than I care to remember. I eventually started to wonder what it might be like if that were really the case.
There's certainly a large red brick building by Chancery Lane Tube station. It also happens to have a courtyard with a glass dome in the centre. As for what lies below? I really couldn't say...
The real Codex is kept safely in the Árni Magnússon Institute for Icelandic Studies, in Reykjavic. I've visited Iceland twice now but never seen the Codex in person. Perhaps third time's the charm.
It's currently still being written, but you won't have to wait very long. The London Repository has plenty of secrets still to uncover and I promise Maddie's adventures are only just beginning.
