O knihe

How much patience do you have with those around you? Try to imagine if they didn't know that you were even there. When you're a ghost, on a different plane of existence, there's little you can do but observe. To some, life is so precious that as their children grow and face ordeals, decades pass. And while an ancient resolve waits and watches for an evil force that feeds on innocent death in a benevolent disguise, centuries pass. When marriage becomes so intolerable that only death can grant peace in a haunted house, the only refuge found by the troubled spirit is in the seat of wealth and power, covered with cobwebs and infested with a demon.

What happens to young children after they're taken away in unspeakable ways beyond their comprehension? Do they just fly away on the wings of angels, or are the living around them so important that death blooms hope for another chance for life? How much love would a mother's spirit need for a daughter to follow her own murderer into a new country, just to be stuck outside in the snow, waiting for a school bus and the smile of a living angel? For a dispatched warrior who hides in the dark to remember what life had once been, when will his tortured spirit find release, transform his grief and rage to revenge, and free him from what imprisoned him for so long?

There's a distorted predator on the road, experienced and motivated. Another child has been abducted, and the end of the journey means more than death if the monster has his way. There's also a man who walks alone in despair, who finds a means for redemption along the infinite highway. Art, music, and religion have always had a way of enlightening our lives, but also to keep the spirits alive. The question is what will it take to save a young boy from the hands of fate and the designs of a murderer?
