“On September 15, 1981, a boy named Jack Sawyer stood where water and land meet, with his hands in the pockets of his jeans, gazing at the rhythmic waves of the Atlantic.

He was twelve years old and tall for his age. The gentle sea breeze pushed his long brown hair back from his clear forehead. He stood there, lost in the confusing and painful emotions that had overwhelmed him for the past three months.

Order and normalcy had disappeared from Jack's world. Life now seemed fluid and uncontrollable, like the water that swayed before him. They moved from place to place – he because his mother forced him; but what forced her?

His mother was running, running.”

From whom or what is she trying to escape? From death…

The young Jack decides to save her. He searches for a talisman in a parallel world full of dangers and lies, in a kingdom of innocents and monsters, where the flame of life can easily be extinguished, in the eternal battle between good and evil.

The talisman is a unique work of fantasy and horror, managing to draw the reader into a dark, mythical world.
