Description
John Creed's nights are haunted by dreams of a white wolf, his days by the hideous class bully. He's a loner with a stutter and his home-life - with an eccentric grandfather who wants to teach him folklore and ancient languages - is isolated and unusual.
But then John makes a friend - Fyre. She's as unusual as John and has her own secrets to keep, but as the truth about John's past starts to emerge, she's the best ally he's got . . .
A dark and twisted take on some classic fairy-tale characters, Keith Austin's brand-new novel will have you on the edge of your seat as you find out if there really is such a thing as Happy Ever After ...
