Annotation:
Comingling horror, fantasy, and romance, this thrilling, timeless tale is set in the tiny village of Near, snuggly set in the barren, atmospheric moors. Lexi has lived there all her life, and when children slowly start disappearing, she's the only one who doesn't blame a newly arrived stranger named Cole. People are saying that the wind coaxes children to come out and play on the moors at night, but doesn't return them in the morning. As the adults become more anxious to place blame, Lexi works harder to discover what is happening, protect Cole, and finds herself digging into village secrets. With beautifully written prose and a compelling plot, this young adult novel will enchant readers.

Praise
"This highly atmospheric debut crackles with tension and has a shivery horror tang...Set in an undefined past, this will appeal to fans of literarily haunting vibes and romance; readers who love it will go on to WUTHERING HEIGHTS."
