His mother raises him alone, but not even she can ease his suffering and longing for a normal childhood. One night, he’s stricken by unexplainable pain and agony. Thinking this is the moment he dies, he doesn’t expect to wake up the next morning after he blacks out. But, he does. Only now, he is unnaturally fast and has the strong body he has always wanted. Able to run miles within seconds and throw heavy boulders across rivers, it seems that Darren’s prayers have finally been answered. 
  His new, phenomenal abilities come with a heavy price when the superstitious villagers of Warminster accuse him of being in league with the devil.

His life, and the lives of those he loves are now at risk, but can he find the courage to outrun death?
