There are whispers about what lurks in Witch Knell—the forest where sinners go to die. The villagers call it The Eating Woods because what's taken is never given back. Only those who've lost their senses would dare to go near it. Or the banished. Maevyth Bronwick knows better than to breach the misty labyrinth of trees, but a tragic turn of events compels her beyond the archway of bones to a boundary no mortal has crossed before. One that cloaks a dark and fantastical world that's as dangerous as it is alluring. It's there that he dwells, the cursed lord of Eidolon.

Maevyth Bronwick sa che è meglio non oltrepassare il nebbioso labirinto di alberi, ma un evento tragico la spinge oltre l'arco di ossa, un confine che nessun mortale ha mai superato, verso un mondo oscuro e fantastico, tanto pericoloso quanto affascinante.
