Publisher's Synopsis
The sequel to the acclaimed novel, THE FIFTH CHILD Ben Lovatt can never fit in. He seems awkward - too big, too strong, inhumanly made. Those who do not understand him want him locked up, including his own mother. Now he has come of age and finds himself alone in the south of France, in Brazil and in the mountains of the Andes, where at last he finds out where he has come from and who are his people.
