Details

Annie has been raised by a strict aunt and a greedy uncle in the hardscrabble farming community of Dour County in Howland. The whole country lives in fear of the surrounding forest inhabited by fierce kinderstalk who hunt for children after dark. But when Annie overhears her uncle preparing to sell her to the mines, her only chance to save herself is to escape into the woods. While on the run, Annie uncovers some surprising truths about the kingdom, its mines, and the ferocious kinderstalk.
