Darkness Holds the Son is first the story of a father struggling to save his kids and second that of a king hell-bent on saving his kingdom's future." - Independent Book Review In a small village named Tuluva Jareth, an unemployed mercenary, and his wife and two children are raising goats to sustain themselves. Things go well for them until the land-baron of Ogress raises their taxes, forcing Jareth to pick up his crossbow and return to the battlefield. Jareth has an even more pressing problem than keeping his family out of debtor's prison, though. His son Crispin has seizures that are caused by magic and if Jareth doesn't find the source soon, it could be fatal as the boy hears voices instructing him to kill his father. On Jareth's quest, he discovers that the same affliction is haunting all the children in the kingdom.
