"James was a prodigy painter, until a nightmare planted in his head shows him how his family is going to be slaughtered, and steals color from his waking eyes. Five years later, the same nightmare, still colorblind, and no answers about the vengeful mystery girl who's out for their blood ... until a pouch with paint brushes from the 1800s washes ashore near his house, and other clues begin to surface. Can James wade just deep enough into the killer's world to paint away his family's fate?" - Wayside Books
Copies of The Scattering will be available for purchase at The Book…
