Publisher's blurb: They have sought out the dark cave to break the curse their friend is under. A monster haunts them. They can hear its roars echoing throughout the caverns. All that protects the Cursed from the beast is a candle, a circle of salt, and some magic words – or chemo, radiation therapy, and support from loved ones. This is a story about cancer and the journey of hope and despair that the people around someone afflicted by it goes through. Just like out in the real world, the end isn’t predetermined. You will experience friendship, despair and fear along the way.
