Candlelight: Candlelight, cartea 1

"[A] tale of astonishing creatures and an unfathomable otherworld." - Kirkus Reviews

In the spring of 1986, the children of Beaumont, Texas disappear one by one. Vanishing without a trace from secluded streets, busy supermarkets, and dark bedroom closets. Drawn by the light of a candle only they can see.

There are no witnesses, no bodies, and no explanation. Only the certainty that they were taken.

Matthew's mother, Lina, a centuries-old witch in hiding, will now suffer the consequences of keeping their history a secret. And skeptical police detective Jacob Fusilier must investigate the string of missing children while reality erodes around him.
