Cold nights, old secrets, dark dangers
«She must never find out. You promised!» When 22-year-old Pia overhears one of her parents say this during an argument one Christmas Eve, it’s like a gut-punch. When, shortly after, she discovers that she was adopted at the age of four, the world as she knows it falls apart.
She has always felt different, strangely alien, as if there was a taboo around her. It seems she was right. To find answers, Pia travels to her biological mother’s home town. Hoar frost covers the little medieval town, and creepy characters are dancing through the streets – an old tradition meant to dispel ghosts. They say that during the nights between Christmas Eve and Epiphany, ancient secrets resurface. And the closer Pia comes to finding out the truth about her mother, the more tightly the ghosts from her past circle around her… until Pia finds herself in mortal danger…
