Review & Description
In the shadows they lurk fueled by intentions most despicable. Shape shifting demons wandering to and fro seeking those children whom they may, in their terms, "collect." Fueled by the pinions of dark magic, these remorseless henchmen relentlessly hunt for the missing Apprentice. For unbeknownst to that child, he or she holds the key to life and death...all that is, all that was... Will you be next? The question is not will, but when. No child is overlooked. How will you defend yourself against their evil onslaught... And who would believe you if you could? Don't bother to look around. Of course, they're watching you...even now as you read this. It's just a matter of time. And should you be selected, they most certainly will not renounce their claim upon you. More importantly, what happens to you if they discover you're not the one they so desperately hope to find?
The people of Sweetwater Massachusetts are alarmed. Children have been going missing. Are they runaways? Is a serial killer on the loose? Or, could the killer truly be an unsuspecting child? CREED GRIFFON is a twelve year old boy accused of abducting ISABELLE POLANSKI, a missing female classmate. She also happens to be someone who enjoyed bullying Creed. Little does he know that hideous Giests are responsible for her kidnapping! As the case against Creed builds, he begins having what he thinks are nightmares involving frightening creatures. However, after a daytime encounter with one, he quickly learns that his frightmares are very real. Through the near death experience of his best friend, BURTON WOODS, and impending incarceration, he's thrust into the realm of magic, mystical creatures, friendship and betrayal. During his journey, Creed discovers that his current childhood is not his first. In turn, he quickly learns he's capable of powerful magic, called Craft. Unfortunately, he hasn't perfected his new found skills and finds himself in some very hair-raising situations!
His quest deepens when he realizes he must find the sacred chronicle in order to clear his name and reclaim full power and knowledge of a past he has forgotten. More challenges arise when he discovers that he's not the only one searching for the holy book. But why would anyone else want it? To make matters worse, a mysterious tattoo on his left hand is slowly spreading. It's a mark that might just get him killed. Creed Griffon is aided on his adventure by a shape shifting body guard who just so happens to have an insatiable sweet tooth, the DRUIX, TIME BENDERS, and a WAYMAKER that is very proud of his ferret heritage. Together they battle GIESTS, a BANDOLIX, ROOT SERPENTS, BRIDGE TROLLS, GHEDDONS, the POLICE, FALLON, and DENEGAUL - the core of all that is evil. Time is running out and a race ensues to find the holy writings.
