Description

Children of the Batcave – Nick Razer

When the police smash through their front door before dawn, thirteen-year-old Ruby Carter loses everything she’s spent years trying to hold together. Torn from their parents and thrown into a foster home ruled by religious cruelty, Ruby and her eight-year-old sister Lily quickly learn that survival has its own set of rules—and breaking them comes with a price.

But Ruby refuses to be broken.

When punishment turns to torment, she makes a desperate choice: escape or die trying. Fleeing into the night, the sisters are swallowed by London’s underbelly—neon-lit alleys, night buses, Soho runaways, goth clubs, predators, and the fractured remnants of the underground scene once known as the Batcave.

Every street hides a threat.
Every stranger could be salvation—or something far worse.
And every step forward risks tearing the sisters apart.

Raw, relentless, and charged with the energy of punk and goth subculture, Children of the Batcave is a brutal, beautiful story of survival, sisterhood, and the fight to stay human in a world determined to crush you.
Perfect for readers who crave emotional grit, street-level realism, and the dark social edge of Richard Allen.
