Product Description
Review
When Ewan's dad, Duncan, comes home after an absence of seven years, he is different. He's dressed in rags and there is a wild fear in his eyes. Duncan tries to come back to the son and the wife he left behind, but he is torn between them and the sea-witch who has enchanted him. A taut, beautifully-written story. --Mail on Sunday
The reader is thrown along in a torrent of adventure, full of tantalising terror and hair-raising danger as Ewan recounts his story. --Jane Lacny

Product Description
Ewan's life is about the change.It begins with the ragged stranger who pursues him down the road-and who seems to know his name. And there are other mysteries, too. A savage creature screams from the hill in the middle of the night. A woman stands on the moonlit beach. And when Ewan's father returns home after an absence of seven years, his body is covered in scars, his nails are like claws, and there is a new wildness in his eyes. What does it all mean? As Ewan begins to discover the truth, his life is thrown into turmoil-and danger. Because his father's stormy past is not ready to let him go.
