The Never King

About “The Never King”

For two centuries, all of the Darling women have disappeared on their 18th birthday, sometimes for a day, a week, or a month, and always returning broken. On the afternoon of the narrator's 18th birthday, her mother tries to bar the windows and lock the doors, but when night falls, the Never King comes for her, and this time he and the Lost Boys are unwilling to let her go.
