Stonewolf: At the Orphanage, all Nicholas ever knew was fear, silence, and hunger. He lay in wait in the bone-rattling cold, trembling, wanting nothing but to avoid Matron and the daily beatings. Nicholas didn't know how long he'd been there, how old he was when he came, or even where he had come from. Nobody spoke his language. One day a stranger named Ranik arrives to whisk him away to a secluded castle. But Nicholas quickly learns that he can't trust his new captors any more than the people at the Orphanage. He is a prisoner and is being kept for a purpose: to unlock secrets buried in his mind. Only years later, with the arrival of a prickly and unusual girl named Larka, do Nicholas's memories start to resurface, and he begins to discover the secrets of his captors, secrets darker than he could have ever imagined. Now, nothing but escape will save him and a legacy he never knew he had. But will the two ophans be able to make it to safety before it's too late? Rated for ages 10 & up.
