After newlyweds Peter and Alyssa Huffy move into their new house in the beautiful, small town of Sparkle, PA, the founder of the town, a long-dead British adventurer, starts to visit Peter in his dreams. Peter soon finds himself being drawn into a bizarre dreamworld that's too real to be his imagination, and too strange to be real. But there is a terrible presence there, as well, which is waiting for a chance to strike. Peter suddenly finds himself on a mission more important than he knows, and only one chance to get it right.Twelve-year-old Derek Windward is the sole keeper of Sparkle's secrets. He is the only one who has witnessed the evil hiding in the darkest part of the forest, and he is the only one who knows how terrifying the power it wields truly is. It is the Bunyine - a giant, tormented creature born eight-thousand years ago in the Garden of Eden. One morning, Derek receives a cryptic message carved into a tree. A message from the beast itself. Whether in a dreamworld, or in ours, both Peter and Derek have the same deadly enemy. In some distant corners of the world, the Bunyine is remembered in folk tales told to scare children. In Sparkle, it is all too real. Though what the Bunyine wants is uncertain, what it would do to get it is unthinkable.
