“Stories are the wildest things of all!
Stories chase and bite and hunt.
And when I have finished my three stories, you will tell me a fourth.
And it will be the truth.”

Conor has the same dream
every night, ever since his mother first fell ill, ever since she started the treatment that doesn't quite
seem to be working.

But tonight is different. Tonight, when he wakes, there's a visitor at his window. It's ancient, elemental,
a force of nature. And it wants the most dangerous thing of all from Conor. It wants the truth.
