Boy In Darkness by Mervyn Peake
Tired of life in the palace, Titus escapes for adventure and is captured by Hyena and Goat - a mysterious pair who hate each other. Taking him into the mines they present their sacrifice to Lamb. Now Lamb has a fresh young soul on which to use his diabolical art - so the ceremony begins.
