AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'He had to run. To escape the voices. They weren't there yet, but they were coming. He could feel them. If he ran hard and fast enough he might be able to escape them a little longer. If he pushed himself until his thighs ached and his heart pounded, they might fall back and leave him to the peace and quiet of the hill...

'Marty's a boy who is troubled by shadows. They won't leave him alone. He needs to find out what they are. It might be something to do with his mother, or something that happened a long time ago. For a while his friend Nariah makes the shadows go away, but not for long. Something is wrong, and it looks like nothing is going to stop those memories coming back.  (Publication summary)
