Book Description
What is this dank chill that wafts darkly from the river; seeping into the crumbling entrails of wall, floor and curtain? From the moment the Rusk family glimpses ‘Butternut Fields’ through pouring rain and overgrown brush—it is evident that mystery shrouds the house and grounds. Tyler, Lawton, Cecil, and Tess Rusk—recently uprooted from their apartment in Milwaukee due to Depression era hardship—reluctantly settle into their mother’s run-down childhood home near Butternut, Wisconsin—now manned by foreboding Aunt Iris. Tyler Rusk, the eldest at nearly eighteen—grapples with resentment caused by his father’s war injuries, his mother’s absence, and mounting pressures to be the strong man of the family. Soon to be sixteen, Lawton escapes into the reverie of his cartoon art as he navigates through his parents’ separation, capricious young love, and baffling events as unpredictable as Northern Wisconsin’s changing seasons. Tess abounds with curious speculations and optimism. Her childlike innocence gives way to awareness as she stands by her disabled brother, Cecil—who hears beyond the floorboards and sees through the curtains of night. Youthful hilarity and Lawton’s signature artwork are juxtaposed against an eerie backdrop of preternatural lore—as layers are painstakingly uncovered to reveal a decades-old, bloodcurdling reality.

Book Description
250 years ago, Ascalon burned . . . Desperate to defend his land from advancing hordes of bestial charr, King Adelbern summoned the all-powerful Foefire to repel the invaders. But magic can be a double-edged sword—the Foefire burned both charr and human alike. While the charr corpses smoldered, the slain Ascalonians arose again, transformed by their king’s rage into ghostly protectors and charged with guarding the realm . . . forever. The once mighty kingdom became a haunted shadow of its former glory. Centuries later, the descendants of Ascalon, exiled to the nation of Kryta, are besieged on all sides. To save humankind, Queen Jennah seeks to negotiate a treaty with the hated charr. But one obstacle remains. The charr legions won’t sign the truce until their most prized possession, the Claw of the Khan-Ur,is returned from the ruins of fallen Ascalon. Now a mismatched band of adventurers, each plagued by ghosts of their own, sets forth into a haunted, war-torn land to retrieve the Claw. Without the artifact, there is no hope for peace between human and charr—but the undead king who rules Ascalon won’t give it up easily, and not everyone wants peace!
