What you need to know before your trail

In the lonesome beauty of the forest, across the far shore of the mountain lake from town, Luce acts as caretaker to an empty, decaying Lodge, a relic of holidaymakers a century before. Her days are long and peaceful, her nights filled with Nashville radio and yellow lights shimmering on the black water. A solitary life, and the perfect escape.

Until the stranger children come.

Bringing fire. And murder. And love.

Travel Guide

The North Carolina Mountains

Not  the scary place they are in the book but a place for lovers and walkers it would seem. There’s more than one kind of adventure to be had here climbing the ice on the mountains is  a particular challenge.

The lodges

For this book and for a more romantic setting in general then the best place to read it would be in a lodge – Lakeview at Fontana is a good place to hide away from the rest of the world and children in general not just stranger children. It’s adults only you see.
