Shadow in the Dark: Volume 1 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780829448108)

An attack by bandits in the middle of the night leaves a young boy with no memory of who he is or where he is from. Nursed back to health by the devoted monks in a Benedictine abbey, he takes the name Alexander, or Xan for short. Aided by the kindly Brother Andrew, Xan commits himself to finding out who he really is.

Does he have a family? Are they still alive?

And who--or what--is the shadowy figure creeping around the abbey in the dead of night?
