But before they turn their backs on Gristlewood for good, Trevor and Will have one more responsibility to face-finding and freeing the other misunderstood "freak" children before they are murdered at the hands of their own parents. The fire rages, the fields burn, but for the first time in his short, tortured life, Will Owen feels a glimmer of hope in his heart."
