What you could change & alter could never be finished or complete or dead This is what I had been told back then & what I had tried very hard to believe in since Beside a lake in the northern Canadian wilderness fifteen year old Zachary Tayler lives a lonely & isolated life with his father His only neighbours are a leech trapper an eccentric millionaire & an expert in snow But then one summer the enigmatic & shape-shifting Eva Spiller arrives in search of the remains of her parents & together they embark on a strange & disconcerting journey of discovery Nothing at Sitting Down Lake is quite as it seems The forest hides ruins & mysteries; the past can never be fully understood & as Zach & Eva make their way through this haunted landscape they move ever closer towards an acceptance of what in the end is lost & what can truly be found
