Description
The Brockenspectre Tomas longs to follow in his father's footsteps, to be strong, brave and fearless. But Pappi's stories of the mountains have also taught him to respect their dangers. One creature in particular haunts his thoughts: the Brockenspectre, a shadowy figure said to lurk in the heights, waiting for unwary climbers. When Pappi fails to return from a solo expedition, Tomas knows he must search for him - alone and perilously high up in the mountains. As Tomas ventures into the treacherous terrain, he must confront his own fears and the very real dangers that surround him. Will he find his father, or will the Brockenspectre prove to be a more formidable foe? Tomas's quest is a heart-pounding, suspenseful journey into the unknown, where the line between reality and myth is blurred.
