Once upon a time, Katie and Mommy were inseparable. Pamela German's happily ever after ended with the suicide of her fifteen-year-old daughter, Kate. A gnawing grief has undermined her marriage and her relationship with her two surviving girls ever since. Something has to change. Pamela agrees to have Kate's room-untouched since her death-redecorated. Refusing to be present during the transformation, Pamela travels with her sister-in-law and their three kids to upstate New York's Catskill Mountains. A Storybook Kingdom. An Ancient Evil. What begins with a violent encounter on a dark, rural road soon spins out of control, drawing the family into a secret world hidden in the forest surrounding their isolated cabin. They find themselves trapped in a cursed land, hunted by an insidious entity that destroys everything in its path. Only through sheer determination and a strange, dreamlike connection with her lost Kate can Pamela navigate this upside-down realm, try to defeat the forces threatening them, and fight to reclaim what she loves most, her family.
