The Forest of Hollow (A Grim Awakening Book 1)

Growing up is hard, and for 13-year-old Ian Grim, it's especially difficult. For as long as he can remember, everyone he has ever come in contact with has picked on him, bullied him and outright hated him. Including his own father. The only person to ever care enough about Ian is his gentle, fun-loving mother. One night she mysteriously disappears and is thought to be dead. Ian's father blames him and threatens to kill him if he doesn't run away and never return.

Now, lost and alone, Ian is hunted by his father and he is forced to solve the mystery of what happened to his mother. On his journey, he will partner with a bully, meet new friends, and uncover an ancient family secret so shocking that the very balance of good versus evil is disturbed.

Ian will finally discover who he is and come face to face with his true destiny. With his world torn apart and now forced to accept help from his mortal enemy, Ian Grim will soon awaken.

And the world will never be the same again.
