About this audiobook
The Old City lay dark and cold …
It is night. And Edmund is alone. His mother is gone. His aunt, who went in search of her, is dead. His sister has disappeared. Edmund has no one. Except for a stranger of the night.
A dark, mysterious stranger who flees from his own demons … who follows Edmund with grim determination through the cold and shadow city, promising to help, but often hindering. A stranger who needs Edmund for purpose of his own.
“The writing is that of a true master … a thought-provoking novel that combines mystery with historical fiction.”—Children’s Book Review Service
