In 1943, Max Carver's father - a watchmaker and inventor - decides to move his family to a small town on the coast, to an abandoned house that holds many secrets and stories of its own. Behind the house Max discovers an overgrown garden surrounded by a metal fence topped with a six-pointed star. In the centre is a large statue of a clown set in another six-pointed star.

As the family settles in they grow increasingly uneasy: Max’s sister Alicia has disturbing dreams while his other sister, Irina, hears voices whispering to her from an old wardrobe. With his new friend Roland, Max also discovers the wreck of a boat that sank many years ago in a terrible storm. Everyone on board perished except for one man - an engineer who built the lighthouse at the end of the beach.

As they learn more about the wreck, the chilling story of a legendary figure called the Prince of Mist begins to emerge...

  1. Hi,

    I am from www.bookurve.com. We are planning to help malaysian book readers to achieve higher reading habit. Most of their concern is about the price which is high and some cannot find their books. We want to provide a system which they can find any book (99%) at the lowest price which it implies that our profit margin is very low with free delivery and to achieve this goal we need a high order volume.

    We find your blog very interesting, so we are seeking your help to inform your readers about us and support us as we are young startup team.

    Regards,
    Hossein.
