Description

Ben Fielding is the sixteen year old son of a conservative politician. He is a dreamer and an artist whose friendship with the wild spirited street kid, Jess, draws him inevitably into conflict with his father. Watching him, brooding and beckoning is derelict Gwendolan House. There are stories within its walls - stories hidden by the dust of time - stories waiting for Ben Fielding to uncover.
