"When young Henry Thorne is kidnapped and held prisoner in a remote farmhouse surrounded by miles of forest, he finds himself connecting with a strange force living in the woods-using that bond to wreak havoc against his captors. Unknown to the boy, however, is that this ancient being has its own reasons for wanting the interlopers gone-there is something hidden beneath the house, tucked away in the dark, damp root cellar . . . waiting for its return."-- Provided by publisher.
