Shelter
In a wooded winter valley, shadows gather...
Rowan Coffey is nineteen when he leaves university, a bright-burning boy come home to hide after the cruel, casual murder of a friend. Rowan had no alibi; exhausted after weeks of being under suspicion, he's looking for shelter, what's warm, familiar and safe.
But what he finds is chill. And danger. And death...
