In the year 1724, Astrid was branded a sinner and hanged by her own village---not for witchcraft, but for loving someone she was never meant to love. As the noose tightened around her neck, she didn't beg. She cursed. With her final breath, she promised the town their cruelty would rot from the inside out. They buried her in an unmarked grave deep in the woods, hoping time would swallow her memory.
Three centuries later, Natalie is barely surviving. Miserable, exhausted, and raising her little brother alone, she finds herself breaking under the weight of a world that has never been kind to her either. One desperate night in the forest, standing over a patch of earth she doesn't know holds a secret, she whispers a plea to anyone who will listen.
Something answers.
From the forgotten grave rises Astrid---no longer the helpless girl they hanged, but something far older, darker, and unfinished. Bound by a curse and drawn to Natalie's pain, Astrid must decide whether to use her second chance for vengeance... or for something dangerously close to love.
