Stephen Lloyd Jones - acclaimed author of THE STRING DIARIES - returns with a richly-imagined thrill ride for fans of Stephen King and Lauren Beukes. They are coming... On a storm-battered road at the edge of the Devil's Kitchen, a woman survives a fatal accident and gives birth to a girl who should never have lived. The child's protection lies in the hands of Edward Schwinn - a loner who must draw himself out of darkness to keep her safe - and her arrival will trigger a chain of terrifying events that no one can explain. She is a child like no other, being hunted by an evil beyond measure. For if the potential within her is realised, nothing will be the same. Not for Edward. Not for any who live to see it.
Von Kind auf ist Hannah zum Überleben erzogen worden: fliehen, kämpfen, beschützen. Ihre Lehrer: drei Jahrzehnte der Angst. Dreißig Jahre voller Albträume. Doch das hier ist kein Albtraum. Es ist Wirklichkeit. Ein Mann verfolgt die Frauen ihrer Blutlinie, seit fünf Generationen, durch ein uraltes Geheimnis geschützt. Er will ihr das Liebste nehmen: ihr Kind. Und Hannah kann keinem trauen. Keinem.
