Or when it's dark, It comes for you
Then it will be too late

She's seen people disappear into the fforest and never come back. So why, then, does she find herself mysteriously drawn to the fforest Is she what everyone around her says she is A witch

Alys soon finds herself on a journey that will take her to the very heart of the fforest. There she must decide where true evil lies. And face the thing they call ...
