When they first arrived that winter, they brought a "gift" that healed the sick and restored hope to millions. But months after their peaceful departure, they’ve returned—and this time, their intentions are far from friendly. Now they are infecting the strong and healthy, leaving the rest of the population to rot. Who are they? What do they want? And what horrors will they unleash before it’s over? For 15-year-old Sheldon, the chaos feels like a cruel backdrop to his already crumbling life on the family farm. His parents’ marriage is unraveling, his dreams of finishing school have been sacrificed, and every day is a battle to hold their fragile world together. Loneliness is his only constant—until strange events shatter his quiet existence. Terrifying forces emerge from the forest, ripping through the town and leaving destruction in their wake. Desperate, Sheldon joins an unlikely group of young survivors, including a girl who understands his pain like no one else. Together, they must confront the dark secrets hidden in the trees and make impossible choices if they hope to survive—before everything, and everyone, they love is consumed. And for Sheldon, he’s quickly learning that survival isn’t about running. Survival isn’t about fighting. Survival is about making sacrifices—heartbreaking, and terrifying sacrifices.
