Whiteland
Description
Blending Scandinavian folklore with dark fairy tales, this creepy and atmospheric debut novel by Rosie Cranie-Higgs will take you on a psychological joyride into a terror-filled realm known only as Whiteland.
‘You’re only going to get burned.’
‘By what?’
‘Monsters,’ she calls into the night. ‘And girls who go looking for them.’
In a lonely Swiss mountain village, Kira’s holiday is interrupted when her sister Romy ventures into the woods. It’s winter, it’s eerie, and there’s something out there.
When Romy returns, she’s different, and shouldn’t have survived the elements. Even though she isn’t acting normal, all their parents care about is that she’s still alive.
Seeking answers, Kira starts to pry. Exploring the otherworldly forest, she stumbles upon a folkloric world called Whiteland.
But secrets like to be kept. If Kira runs away, she’ll be safe. If she doesn’t, her family might not survive. In the end, there’s no mercy in revenge.
