Iris Hunter is her name, since she was 13 she has been fending for herself. Tending to the treehouse, walking to town every month for new supplies, not to mention hunting for the supplies she can't afford to buy. As if all of this isn't enough, her father and her live in a forest that most won't even dare to speak of, it is told to be haunted. That rumor is only partly correct. Every other night Iris's father shoves her in her room and tells her to stay there, it is curiosity that told her to pick the lock on her door and see what her father had been so worried about her finding out about. Wolves, their house is attacked by wolves her father later calls 'hombres lobos', after her father is gone she must face them on her own. See how she sorts out that little problem.
