About this ebook
A boy and his captor are on the run from relentless pursuers in “a suspenseful horror-action hybrid with memorably warped characters and . . . cinematic flair” (Publishers Weekly).
When six-year-old Evan is kidnapped from his foster home, he is dragged into a world of shadows, monsters, and fire. Though he is desperate to escape from his violent captor—a man who calls himself Rook—Evan soon learns that Rook is the only one who can protect him from even more terrible dangers. As Evan discovers the mysterious man’s magical abilities, he begins to wonder if Rook is a man at all.
Pursued across the wintery Southern Ontario countryside, with police dogs at their heels and deeper horrors lurking in the woods, Evan and Rook come to understand each other. Because Evan also has magical powers—ones he doesn’t yet know how to control.
