Uncanny, adventurous, and action-packed: the new dark fantasy bestseller by Markus Heitz! Since the forest in Yarkin began to spread uncontrollably 150 years ago, the human population has dwindled. The last survivors have been pushed back to a peninsula. Time and again, expeditions have been sent out to find a way to stop the advance of the trees - none have returned. Until the legendary warrior Danèstra meets Kalenia, who tells an incredible story: about a settlement in the forest and a brutal raid that revealed true evil; and about a conspiracy among the people that only she, Kalenia, can uncover. She asks the warrior for help. But can Danèstra really trust her?.
