Something's eaten his best friend. And now it wants to eat him.
~
It's September, 1942. The last time nine-year-old Charlie Stewart heard from his father was at the beginning of the year.
But for now, Charlie is concerned. Two days after his best friend, Henry, disappeared, his sleepy mining town starts searching, but they won't let Charlie help. Henry said he was going to ask his parents about fundraising ideas to support the war effort and bring Charlie's dad back from the Philippines.
When Henry does come back - six days later - he's sick. When he returns to school, he's . . . D I F F E R E N T . Something happened in those days when he was gone, and as everyone welcomes Henry back, Charlie grows increasingly frightened of what could've happened to him.
But one thing is for certain - something strange, something awful, something definitely happened to Henry Walker.

Jack is a prince in a Kingdom nestled in the mountains, and he is well acquainted with his people and his life. However, he's definitely not ready to take over his term as the King yet. There's too much that he hasn't done yet, and even with the other Kingdom he's supposed to ally with his own through marriage growing frustrated and restless with their weapons, Jack refuses; girls aren't really his type anyway.
Mark is a solider for the King's army, and has been all his life. He is aware that the other kingdom is ready for war, and he is going to be the one to fight them. Even so, his general assigns him the role of persuading the prince into marriage by protecting him as he does what he wants, but always reminding him of his duties - an order that Mark ignores.
Only after they start spending time with each other do both men realize they found themselves in a situation much more than they bargained for.
