Always be over the border by sunset.
Listen to the pull of the Warding Stones.
Leave out gratitudes each autumn for Reaping.
Respect and fear the Bright-Eyeds.
There is one rule in the small and prosperous town of Mistaken
if you spend a night within its borders, you belong to it forever.
The Warding Stones that surround Greer Mackenzies town have stood for as long as she can remember, erected by the mysterious Benevolence to keep out the Bright Eyeds unthinkable monsters that haunt the deep forest.

But as she treks through the cold and pitiless wilderness, it is not only the Bright Eyeds she has to fear.
Set on a path to uncover the truth about the founding of Mistaken, and her own origins, Greer begins to uncover secrets hidden in the depths of the forest secrets that dont want to be let out.
