Publisher's Synopsis
In the dark ages, deep within a forest on the border between England and Wales, lived a grandmother and her grandson. The grandmother was a good cook and when the boy had friends from the local villages to stay, she made sure that they only had the finest cakes and the sweetest candy to eat.
But the friends disappeared in the night and were never seen again. Something was lurking within the forest, something monstrous, dark and evil.
His grandmother always told him not to be frightened, there was no such thing as monsters...
But the grandmother was hiding a secret. A secret so awful that soon the boy found his world turned upside down. Who or what was he? His journey to find the answers would take him out of the Stricken Forest and into the villages far beyond. There he would discover who the real monsters were...and he wouldn't like the answers.
