"Do not wander in the deeps, Where the Shriker's shadow creeps. When he rises from beneath, Beware the sharpness of his teeth." For more than three hundred years a monster known as the Shriker has roamed Shalem Wood, slaughtering those unfortunate enough to wander into his path. The people of Noor have lived in fear for so long that most have forgotten that the Shriker was once a loyal dog...until the day he was cruelly betrayed by his master and cursed to live a bloodthirsty life, always seeking revenge for the fate his owner had dealt him. A tale of terror and magic about the scariest mutt we've seen in a long time, The Beast of Noor tells the story of two siblings determined to break the curse of the Shriker...or die trying.

Industry Reviews

A creature called the Shriker has lured helpless victims to their gruesome deaths in Shalem Wood for centuries. Miles and Hanna Ferrell learn that it was their own ancestor who was responsible for the creation of the beast and his anger and taste for blood. When their friend becomes the most recent victim, Miles is determined to kill the beast and right the wrong, before his sister is taken next. It isn't long before Hanna goes in search of her missing brother, to save him from becoming the very beast he has set out to destroy. Moving between parallel dimensions, leaving behind their friends and family, these two youngsters must prove themselves capable of surviving danger, making the right choices and always staying true to their inner selves and to each other. An engaging tale, with just the right touch of terror to make a good story, it thankfully avoids devolving into an unnecessarily gruesome gore-fest. A hefty but not tiresome read, this will leave the reader anxious to turn just a few more pages before turning out the light. (Fiction. 10-14) (Kirkus Reviews)
