Everyone gets lost in the Wood that surrounds the village to the North. Everyone, that is, except for Annabelle Knopp. But the Wood contains secrets even Annabelle doesn't know. When the body of a stranger appears on the steps of the church, the quiet village gets thrown into turmoil. People begin to disappear, the trees stir with long-forgotten magic, and a dark force rises in the Wild. With her home in danger, Annabelle must embark on an unforgettable journey to an unknown world, to save the people she loves from the shadow that threatens to consume them all. And something in the Wood is watching. ***** Inspired by northern European folklore and mythology, To the North is the first book in K.H. Leigh's "The Villages" anthology.
