Book details
Charlie Fletcher - Author
Expect an adventurous, supernatural story in which George faces challenges while trying to help captured companions. Its altered London setting and continuing conflict raise questions about how power should be used.
Edie stared at George's hand, eyes wide in shock at what was happening to it. She tore her eyes away and saw that George had gone very pale as he examined the changes. He was staring so intently that he had completely stopped blinking. "What happening?" she asked quietly. He had no idea, but it was something. From the scar that the dragon had slashed on it, three distinct lines had begun to emerge, dark lines, coloring the pale skin of his hand as they spiraled down and around to his wrist like tendrils on a briar. "Is it blood pouncing?" Edie asked tentatively. He examined the three line closely, although everything inside him made him want to pull his eyes away. "No," he said, mouth drying up, "It's something worse."

George has a special power and is determined to use it for good, while others want to exploit its potential for evil.
George is tasked with helping captured companions while facing challenges that threaten his safety.
Three veins made of marble, bronze and stone grow from George’s hand and may move towards his heart unless he completes challenges.
Some scenes may merit preparation: George’s hand changes after a dragon’s attack, veins threaten to reach his heart, characters are captured, and the story includes combat, death, war imagery and perilous rescue attempts.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: some draft conclusions still depend on unresolved evidence.
