Danny Corsair was six years old the first time the wild things came to him.

He didn't understand it then. He only knew that something in those hills was paying attention — and that whatever it was, it didn't laugh at the way he talked.

He had walked farther than he meant to when the storm found him.

What happened that night — in the cold, in the rain, under the moon in the hills above Orcutt — is the story this book tells.

Before the scarlet sails. Before the covenant. Before everything One True Love quietly asks you to take on faith.

Now you know where it began.
