'It's not ALL about the past,'Marcus said.'We've taken over this place and we've got to decide what to do with it.
This castle's got masters again.' A chance
encounter on the snowy slopes of a castle moat throws together three lonely teenagers: Emily,Simon and the imaginative
but enigmatic Marcus,who is the catalyst for all that follows.At first the ruin is merely the backdrop to a day in the snow.
But when the three break in to the forbidden interior of the keep,they find the castle taking on a different and deeper meaning.Despite the freezing conditions,they spend the night there,to experience the power of occupation.
Then re-enactment gets out of control and
a very real siege ensues,becoming not a
staged play but a frenzy of nightmarish action. . . . .
A compelling plot and a masterly depiction of three characters,at odds yet bound in a strange alliance.Author's third novel,previous two were Buried Fire and The Leap.
