Preface

Will is 12 years old and he has just killed a man. The man came in the night looking for something that once belonged to Will’s missing father. Will doesn’t know what it is but he knows he must protect it and his mother at all costs.

After Will kills the man he knows he can’t stay and has to go on the run.

His journey takes him on a trip to another other world and brings him into contact with a strange and fierce girl named Lyra.

By her side, Will, will discover an incredibly powerful weapon and they will both take a step closer to their destiny.
