"Desperate to escape her past, she hides in the wild wood. And then the Whispers come."--Cover.

"A journey into the wild woods with a character who just needs a break -- and the terrible things that stare back at her. Whisperwood is a small town deep in the woods that's not on any maps. Nobody goes there. And nobody ever comes out. To Anna, Whisperwood is an opportunity, a haven, a place to hide from her violent, witch-hunting ex-lover. But, once she arrives, Anna is preventing from leaving by folk magic she doesn't understand. An unwilling -- and unwelcome -- resident, she tries to fit in and help out where she can. But not everything is peaceful in the isolated community. A vanishing town, a gruesome funeral rite, an emergency field surgery -- these surprises and more test Anna's resolve. She quickly finds that investigating the forest too closely could end up being the last thing she does. Because the only thing more dangerous than frightened villagers is what's waiting in the woods beyond them. And Anna is about to discover that the terrifying legends about the creatures in the forest don't come close to revealing their true, hidden nature."--Publisher.
