This novella, a dark and unsettling fable, drew me in immediately and was impossible to put down. Veris is the only person known to have entered the forbidden north forest and returned. When the Tyrant's children disappear into its depths and the soldiers he sends after them meet a terrible end, the Tyrant compels her to retrieve them, threatening terrible consequences if she fails. A fascinating, lyrical and deeply sad tale of wisdom and grief.
