Description

‘…as he looked in the glass he could still see the figure. He frowned. Yes, it was definitely the same figure, but now…

His heart almost stopped and tiny beads of cold sweat began to break out across his forehead.

When twelve-year-old Robbie moves to his new home, he soon begins to explore the surroundings. He and his friends uncover the long forgotten remains of a Dark Age priory. In so doing, they unearth not only some crumbling stones, but an ancient evil, re-awakened and intent on regaining the hidden secret from the Well of Despair.
