About the book: 2023 / A terrible event in the life of sixteen-year-old Anya forces her to flee from the past. Together with their father, they settle in a seemingly quiet village, where people are friendly, nature is a sight to behold, and huge flocks of birds draw bewitching patterns in the sky. But how can you hide from others that after everything you’ve experienced, you are now afraid of your own shadow? And how to stay calm in a place where everyone seems to have their own secret? Where the physical education teacher sacrifices animals to Murmur, and near a local landmark you can definitely smell... blood?
