    Summary

    Abandoned as a child and forced to bounce between foster homes, a young woman finds herself in a remote village in the Carpathian Mountains after running as far as her legs can take her. The reclusive settlement offers only the briefest refuge as a dispute in the local tavern forces her to flee once again into the cold, winter night. On the brink of death in the frozen woodlands, a creature of the night only heard of in hushed whispers comes to her rescue. Though grateful to have escaped with her life, the uncertainty of her current situation, blended with the trauma of her past, means learning to trust her intimidating savior will be far from painless.
