First book of the Never Trilogy... As I grew up, my mom would have an explanation for almost everything. Presents at Christmas is Santa. Eggs hidden during Easter is Bunny. Getting quarters for my teeth is Tooth Fairy. Good dreams is Sandman. As I grew up, I stopped believing and my mom gave me new explanations for everything. But I never quite understood Winter. It was the only one that my mom didn't have a magical explanation for. No snow falling or frost forming on windows. I wonder if Winter has a Guardian?

Reid has been homeless on the streets of New York for years now, fighting for cash in clubs and sleeping in empty buildings. With his special ability, Reid could have whatever life he wanted, but chooses not to. When Sam meets Reid on the subway, she has a hard time forgetting about him, and not only because he keeps showing up in the least likely of places. Sam doesn't know it at first, but the boy she just met is about to show her a whole other world.
