'I virtually read it in one sitting when I actually should have been writing my own books ... I read this and felt seen.' Patrice Lawrence

Be careful what you wish for...

Peter and his half-brother Adrian live in the shadow of Old Splinter - the ruined mansion on the hill, where legends of ancient relics and dark magic swirl. And the cracks are starting to show in their once-happy family. Faced with the daunting task of renovating the place, Peter's stepdad is at his wits' end and the boys feel powerless to help.

Then Peter unearths a horrifying secret in the walls of the mansion and the brothers realise there's some truth to the terrifying tales. If the Wishing Claw is real, it can grant their deepest desires - and it might just bring their family back together.

But wishes are tricky things and Peter unleashes much more than he bargained for. When a monstrous hunger comes knocking at his door, he must find a way to undo his wish before it's too late.
