The Children of Corvus

Ten years after departing this world, Michael Singleton returns to the valley nestled along the Blackwater River. Michael suffers from a rare disease, the curse of his tribe. Because of this, Michael's soul will be damned to wander the Shadowlands, the domain of the Witch Goddess, for eternity. To escape this fate, Michael must unlock the spell that opens the portal to Corvus' kingdom, the Otherworld. It is a secret known to only one man, the powerful Guardian of the Dead.

What if you were a shape-shifter, but didn't know it? What if the man who raised you orchestrated your father's execution? What if you discover that the people closest to you have been lying to you all your life? Book two in the award-winning contemporary fantasy trilogy about a tribe of shape-shifters in Northern Maine, USA. On a cold October morning in Blackwater Hills, Samuel Singleton steps outside to do his morning chores and is whisked through a portal into the domain of the witch goddess known as the Shadowlands.

A witch and a son of Corvus must combine their powers to defeat the witch goddess, and save the souls of the Merulas trapped in the Shadowlands. As host of the newscast, "The Scoop At Five: Live!", Catriona Remington prefers to show the world a brave face. Inside she's barely keeping it together, worrying over the fates of Sarina and Jonathan Lance. After they located the twins' missing father in Blackwater Hills, Sarina stayed behind by choice. Jonathan, however, is being held prisoner in the castle dungeon.
