Murder, mystery, and adventure aren’t your typical birthday presents. . . . But for Theo, anything that breaks up his ordinary routine is the perfect gift. Theo’s guardians and a mysterious “illness” force him into a life indoors, where gloves must be worn and daily medical treatments are the norm. When Theo discovers a suspicious package on his birthday, he begins to unlock the secret behind his “illness” that will change his life forever. Molded into an exhilarating steampunk adventure that gives birth to the next great fantasy hero, Theo Wickland, Candle Man: The Society of Unrelenting Vigilance is the first book in a trilogy.
