Book description
In the third instalment in the creepy, captivating Larten Crepsley
series, Larten finds out what it means to love… but is he also damned to
find out what it means to lose?
Lost in the arctic waste, carrying a baby whose love he could never
deserve, Larten faces the darkest time he has ever known.
But hope has a way of shining through even the smallest of cracks, and
just as Larten reaches the end, a new beginning presents itself. The
trouble is, for Larten, the violence of his youth is never far from the
surface… and those he loves are the ones he hurts the most. As Larten
experiences heaven and hell, and tries to save the soul of a child, the
question is: can he save his own? Praise for the Larten Crepsley Series:
“His writing is slick, his dialogue sharp and clever, his plotting
immaculate. His books ooze with the kind of creepy, dark atmosphere and
powerful characters that young teenage readers lap up. Shan is honing
his craft with every book, and I look forward to the next gore-fest with relish.”
Irish Independent
“Forget Stephen King, this author's the master of scaring children.”
