"Gallowgate" by K. R. Alexander
"Sebastian Wight is cursed. As a boy with the forbidden ability to traverse the lands of the dead, he must not only harness his newfound powers to fight the monster that stalks him, but also to navigate a creepy world of hunting ghosts and ghouls with his eccentric classmates. And that's only the start of his concerns. They're also tangled on a boy who barely looks at him twice... and the deadly family history that brought him to the halls of Gallowgate Academy in the first place. For Sebastian Wight, fighting the dead might be hard... but it's dealing with the living that may bring him down.”
Here are the following pages that you will receive with your kit!
