The risen corpses wandered through the forest for years, but never went beyond its borders. Now they began to attack local residents.

To find out the truth, Rin and Ellis will have to go on a dangerous journey and find a place shrouded in ancient secrets. “A dark, fascinating story that is reminiscent of the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm, the novels of the Bronte sisters and Neil Gaiman.” – Mackenzie Lee, author of The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue.
