Where the Winter Ends

Kassia Raine has never had the luxury of fear.
Not with a dying mother, two younger sisters who depend on her, and a father worn thin by long days and longer winters. She knows her place: keep her family fed, keep the fire lit, keep going.

But on a silent morning in the pines, Kassia sees something she cannot explain in the woods, something that watches her with an intelligence that chills her to the bone.

Tracks appear near the village and surrounding areas. Rumors swell and fast.

Kassia doesn't know what to believe or who she can tell of what she saw.

But when a single moment shatters what remains of her family, Kassia is forced to face a truth Hemlock has ignored for generations.
