Everyone wants their favourite book to be real, if only for a moment.

Everyone wishes to meet their favourite characters, if only for a day . . .

But be careful what you wish for: even a history laid in ink can be repaid in flesh and blood, and reality is far deadlier than fiction . . . especially on Addington Isle.

Eamon and his two closest friends, Caroline and Mark, journey to the place that inspired their beloved book, Winterset Hollow - a timeless tale about a tribe of animals preparing for their yearly end-of-summer festival.

But soon Addington Isle becomes a blood-soaked nightmare, and the truth behind their beloved story is revealed to be darker and more dangerous than they ever imagined.

It's Barley Day . . . and you're invited to the hunt.
