A thrilling, Gothic adventure about one lonely orphan boy and the discovery of strange new powers; it’s Batman meets Heroes.

Theo Wickland lives a life of isolation - he has only ever known three people: his butler, the maid and his guardian. But one birthday, during his annual trip to the graveyard, Theo finds a small package addressed to him. A secret message inside it, and a visit from two burglars that proves fatal to one of them, are the catalysts for Theo to discover that he possesses deadly powers.

When Theo escapes from his guardian, Dr Saint, he begins to discover the truth behind his years in captivity and find answers to the questions that have been burning inside him. Why has he only ever known three people in his short life? Could his rare illness be more than it seems? And what is his connection to the legendary Candle Man?
