Where Day Breaks - Book 1. The Snatchers: 'A Magical Adventure For All Ages'
Children have been going missing. Their parents waking only to the stench of death and empty beds where the innocent once lay. Travellers have brought with them terrible stories, stories of foul creatures too horrible to imagine. 'Snatchers', visiting in the dark of night, grabbing children from their warm beds and dragging them away to a cruel fate.

A chance encounter by the banks of the River Staple between the young boy James Shears, a mysterious old man and his trusty dog Dowser changes all of their lives forever. It leads to a precious discovery but one that sends James's peaceful village life spiralling into a sinister nightmare. For there is an unimaginable evil that seeks what it is he now possesses, an evil that will stop at nothing to acquire it.

The young boy finds himself embroiled in a world of sorcery and magic. Guided by the mysterious man he learns about himself and the true nature of the magical world he inhabits. Together they must travel into the heart of the dead wood forest where James must confront his deepest fears, ''the fate of the worlds depends on it'.
