The Howler

By Christopher D. Pearce

The dreadful and deeply sad howl that rolled over the valley and the hills was only the wind, that's what he told himself.

After Henry Hughes leaves Victorian London for a remote West Country village, he finds himself in a place steeped in superstition. Here, he meets Nell and Thomas, the grandchildren of the mysterious Weather-Weaver. According to the local legend, a cursed beast stalks the night, and the magical wards that once held it at bay have fallen.

Guided by dreams and a power that seems to stir from the moor itself, they must bring an end to a curse borne of jealousy and vengeance, and learn not all evil hunts only in the dark.

A dark tale of guilt, redemption and wild magic, THE HOWLER is the first book in the Old Boundaries series by Christopher D. Pearce.
