Product Description When twelve year old Patrick Brighton is kidnapped by a strange and sinister man, Aster Tye, the world is forever changed. The boy, along with five of his rescuers, begin their pursuit of the Witch Queen, a woman guarded in secrecy who has unleashed a plague upon mankind in order to bring about his downfall. The boy's rescuers, a penguin, a Bengal tiger, and others, must outwit and out maneuver the murderous Tye in his attempts to once again ensnare the boy as they make their way across North America.From the reclusive backwoods areas of northern West Virginia to the far southeastern mountains of Alaska the tenuous group will encounter a host of adversaries that will try and hinder the group from their goal. From unnatural beings who are unwilling to pass into the land of the dead beings that wish to take Patrick's life for their very own to chilling religious fanatics who embrace the apocalyptic state that the world has slipped into, to lethal mice who are machinelike in their purpose in trying to stop Patrick and his friends, the story races forward with Tye and his wicked ways lashing out at Patrick at just about every turn. Demeter's Child tells how the world has now been divided into two camps: The animals, who wish for man to survive and remain in control of the planet and the insect and serpent worlds that have been promised greater domain over the lands by the witch once man is gone. At the center of it all is Patrick Brighton. Lost, alone, and unable to come to grips with what the animals are telling him about himself, he must face challenge after challenge as he learns what power it is that is growing within him and where his final place awaits amongst all the chaos as he takes the final steps to meet with the witch. From the Back Cover Patrick Brighton...It came at him quickly and without warning. It told him that he was going to be taken away and there was nothing he could do to stop it. It told him that he was never going to see his mother and father again. When it whispered in his ear that all that he knew was going to die he closed his eyes and wanted to cry. And it laughed at him. The creature was cunning. It made sure that it never mentioned to the boy who they believed him to be. It never mentioned to the boy that he may be something extraordinary. It never mentioned to the boy that he could probably end this all with but a thought. And it never mentioned to the boy that the creature itself was afraid of him. Because even it was unsure of who the boy really was... ...Or what the boy could possibly do.
