The
Nain Rouge, translated from The “Red Dwarf” made his home near the narrow
river straits in an area later French settlers were to name “Detroit”. As the
Steward of Straits, the Nain Rouge was responsible for keeping harmony and
balance in the natural world near the straits of the great river. It was not
until the Antoine de Mothe Cadillac and the French settlers arrived that the
Nain Rouge began causing trouble. At first, the Nain Rouge was cordial and
diplomatic, but a quarrel began and soon turned into an angry brawl. The Nain
Rouge was beaten mercilessly during the fight and fled from the settlement in
anger. It is said that as he ran away, a curse was flung from his lips onto the
entire region of Detroit. The curse, it is rumored, befalls anyone who creates
evil of their own will, empowering the Nain Rouge with greater and greater
strength throughout the centuries. Now, the Nain Rouge is often seen just
before a tragic event, a harbinger of doom that revels in the downfall of
humanity. In recent times, with all the problems that faced Detroit, there have
been many more sightings of the Nain Rouge. He seems to be growing in power.
Some say the times are bad. Some say it is only getting worse. Perhaps, the day
of reckoning is upon us. Elly and Tom
are two average middle schoolers on a field trip to the Detroit Institute of
Arts. In a flash, they are wrapped up in a mystery of evil and intrigue that
has been brewing for centuries. Fate has hurled these young teens in front of
one of the most evil creatures ever to walk the earth…the Nain Rouge. Can Elly
and Tom do anything to save the city and themselves? Or has the time of the
Nain Rouge finally come?

“By weaving very
adult issues of downturns, job loss, and recession-effect on families with this
dark fantasy tale, Bastian has created a bogeyman we can all believe in - along
with a hero and heroine who just might have the drive and energy to turn the
city around.” – Amazon Review
