What is a heart? Is it just the organ that beats in our chest, or something deeper—perhaps a city, or even a throne? And if there is a throne, there must be a king. But who is the rightful ruler: the King of White Oak… or another? That's what Tom McKinley is about to discover—if he can survive long enough. His journey will force him to confront the ugliest truth about himself while facing giants, menacing Wiggletwigs, an army of Weurgen, amnesia, and an ominous stranger who claims to hold the key to his identity. Will Tom resist the temptation to seek answers at any cost, or will he descend into darkness in his search for the light?
