The Beast in the Dark

Beschreibung

After a ferocious beast attacks a small Alaskan village, a mysterious shaman helps a courageous teenage boy prepare to defeat it. A classic hero-journey story like The Lord of the Rings where the smallest and seemingly weakest among us overcomes obstacles even the biggest and strongest could not. A kind of The Sword in the Stone meets Rambo adventure story, this spellbinding Native American campfire tale proves that every culture has its heroes.
