The Talisman

On A Brisk Autumn Day, A Twelve-year-old Boy Stands On The Shores Of The Gray Atlantic, Near A Silent Amusement Park And A Fading Ocean Resort Called The Alhambra. The Past Has Driven Jack Sawyer Here: His Father Is Gone, His Mother Is Dying, And The World No Longer Makes Sense. But For Jack Everything Is About To Change.
