The City of Woe

The Nocturne Cycle

Eduardo has lost both of his parents. In the summer of 2002, he's packed up and sent to Maine to live with his grandmother, in a small town called Nocturne. It's a far-cry from his life in New York.

But things only become stranger, more dangerous, and more terrifying as the summer begins. For a serial killer has invaded the town, leaving violence and fear in their wake. A circus has arrived, which could be a welcome distraction or a harbinger of doom. And Eduardo's neighbors include a girl he is immediately attracted to, and her younger brother, who seems to hear and know things that no one else can or should.

Welcome back to Nocturne. Be afraid, and beware.
