Produktbeschreibung
The first in a disturbing and overwhelming trilogy, this story that is primarily directed towards younger readers will also spark the interest of older readers thanks to its remarkable combination of horror, mystery, love, and action. Emmeline knows she's not supposed to explore the woods outside her settlement. The enemy that has wiped out half her people lurks out there, attacking at night and keeping them isolated in an unfamiliar land with merciless winters. When faced with a potential wedding to the wrong someone, Emmeline's dreams urge her into the woods, where she uncovers the path her grandmother once took -- the one that cost her. What is really at the end of the path? Is it something so dark and scary as everyone has claimed? If Emmeline isn't careful, she may have the same fate has her grandmother. Esta obra constituye el inicio de una emocionante trilogía dirigida en primer lugar a los jóvenes, pero cuyas características despertarán, sin duda, el interés de los lectores de mayor edad gracias a la notable combinación de terror, misterio, acción y amor. La trama está ambientada en una conservadora comunidad de aire medieval. Allí, Emmeline, una chica poco común se ve obligada a romper con el aislamiento de la comunidad en la que vive. Ella sabe que el bosque que se encuentra más allá de su pueblo es peligroso y que pretender explorarlo es considerado un acto de rebeldía. El enemigo que exterminó a la mitad de su pueblo se esconde allí, atacándolos en la oscuridad y manteniéndolos aislados en una tierra desconocida de inviernos implacables. Pero, ¿qué hay realmente más allá? ¿Es algo tan aterrador y oscuro como le han dicho los demás?
