N1  - The Monster showed up after midnight. As they do. But it isn't the monster Conor's expecting, the one from the nightmare he's had nearly every night since his mother started her treatments, the one with the darkness and the wind and the screaming.... This monster is something different, something ancient, something wild. And it wants the truth
N2  - Thirteen-year-old Conor awakens one night to find a monster outside his bedroom window, but not the one from the recurring nightmare that began when his mother became ill--an ancient, wild creature that wants him to face truth and loss
