The truth will find you-even in the dark.

Sixteen-year-old Jonah has always lived by his father's rules: stay inside after dark, trust no one, and never question what lies beyond the trees. But when his father staggers home bloodied, carrying a final warning, the fragile world Jonah has always known begins to collapse.

Forced to lead his younger sister, Sarah, into the forbidden woods, Jonah quickly learns that the world beyond their farm is far more dangerous-and far stranger-than he was ever told. Nightmarish creatures hunt by sound and scent, strangers speak of a place called Sanctuary, and every step forward brings new risks.

Jonah must decide who to trust, what to believe, and how far he'll go to protect Sarah. Because the rules that shaped his life were never the whole truth-and what waits beyond them may change everything.
