Book Description
When teenager Dylan emerges from the wreckage of a train crash onto a bleak Scottish hillside, she meets a strange boy who seems to be waiting for her. But Tristan is no ordinary teenage boy, and their journey across the desolate, wraith-infested wasteland is no ordinary journey. A moving, epic love story that's exciting, scary, funny, thought-provoking and truly original.
