Derry and her eight siblings live in an isolated house by the lake, separated from the rest of the world by an eerie and menacing forest. The man who raised them after their families abandoned them, says its for their own good. After all, the world isnt safe for people with magic. And Derry feels safemost of the time.
Until the night her eldest sister disappears. Jane and Derry swore to each other that theyd never go into the forest, not after their last trip ended in blood, but Derry is sure she saw Jane walk into the trees. When another sibling goes missing and their guardians true colors start to show, feeling safe is no longer an option. Derry will risk anything to protect the family she has left. Even if that means returning to the forest that has started calling to Derry in her missing siblings voices.
As Derry spends more time amidst the trees, her magic grows more powerful . . . and so does the darkness inside her, the viciousness she wants to pretend doesnt exist. But saving her siblings from the forest might mean embracing the darkness. And that just might be the most dangerous thing of all.
