It was just a bit of fun, a local legend. The Devil's Footsteps: thirteen stepping stones, and whichever one you stopped on in the rhyme could predict how you would die. It was a harmless game for kids - and nobody ever died from a game. But, it's not a game to Bryan. He's seen the Dark Man, because the Dark Man took his brother five years ago. He's tried to tell himself that it was his imagination, that the Devil's Footsteps are just stones and the Dark Man didn't take Adam. But, Adam's still gone. And then, Bryan meets two other boys who have their own unsolved mysteries. Someone or something is after the children in the town. And, it all comes back to the rhyme that every local child knows by heart: Thirteen steps to the Dark Man's door, won't be turning back no more...

Heroes of the Valley

Halli Sveinsson has grown up in the House of Svein, listening to the legends of the heroes as all his forefathers did.  His is a peaceful society where the violence of the past has been outlawed and disputes are settled by the Council.   But young Halli has never quite seemed to fit in with the others.  For starters, he was not at all handsome or tall, like his attractive blond siblings.  He's stumpy and swarthy, with a quick mind and aptitude for getting in trouble. Bored with the everyday chores and sheep herding, he can't help himself from playing practical jokes on everyone, from Eyjolf the old servant, to his brother and sister.  But when he plays a trick on Ragnor of the House of Hakonsson, he goes too far, setting in motion a chain of events that will forever alter his destiny.  Because of it, Halli will have to leave home and go on a hero's quest.  Along the way, he will encounter highway  robbers, terrifying monsters, and a girl who may finally be his match.  In the end, he will discover the truth about the legends, his family, and himself. Jonathan Stroud's new novel is a hero's saga and coming-of-age--as well as a surprising look at what bravery really means.
