Deborah Zelasny: Key of the Darkhouse, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

"Help me," a weak voice called over the waves. Key lifted his head, certain he had imagined the voice until he heard it again. "Please."

Sixteen-year-old Key Terek never saw himself as anything more than a boy bound to the gray shores of his desolate island. His father, Lorn, had made sure of that. Years ago, Lorn extinguished the lighthouse that once guided ships to safety, isolating their community from the outside world. Graystone Island was a place of shadows, secrets, and silence-and Key had resigned himself to a life within its grasp. But everything changes the day Key witnesses a shipwreck off the coast and pulls a lone survivor from the wreckage; a girl his age from the fabled Green Islands. Her arrival sets off a chain of events that force Key to confront the ghosts of his past, the truth about his mother's death, and the ties that have kept him tethered to Graystone's shores. But will this survivor forgive him for trapping her on a bleak, cold island with no hope of ever returning to her home? Key of the Darkhouse is a haunting tale of love, loss, and the courage it takes to chase the light-even in the darkest of places.
