A monster stalks the village. The warriors are gone. One boy must find the courage to face the darkness.

England, AD 820 When his father joins the King's fleet, twelve-year-old Theodric is left with a heavy burden and a single command: Be watchful.

But the peace of Stanh?m is shattered when a massive, dark shape is seen stalking the treeline. The elders whisper of Old Shuck -- the spectral Black Hound of folklore.

Theodric and his brothers know they must act. Armed only with wooden swords and courage, they track the predator into the Whispering Woods. But in the shadows of the ancient standing stones, they find that the monster they hunt is not what they expected -- and the true danger is closer than they think.

Featuring over 25 immersive woodcut-style illustrations that bring the Dark Ages to life!
