The Last Shadow Guardian

When Hasan was sixteen, war took everything – his family, his home, his future. Standing alone on the ruins of his house, he decides to leave. His journey takes him through frozen forests and deadly swamps where smugglers' maps lead nowhere, through nights of rain and hunger where a wild deer guides him to a cave to survive. In that forest he meets Carmen, a young woman who also lost everything. Together they hide in a truck to reach Paris, crossing the English Channel in an overcrowded rubber boat until the British Coast Guard rescues them. Five years pass in England. On a camping trip to Scotland, Hasan meets Father Rogatrus, the last guardian of the Sacred Trusts, documents that reveal who moves wars from the shadows.
