The witch has returned and no one is safe.

Almost a year has passed since Anika and Gretel's horrifying night in an abandoned cannery in the Back Country, and the subsequent beginning of their quest to the Old Country for answers to the mysteries of Orphism.

But rumors are reaching the far shore that the evil Witch of the North, presumed dead since that night of terror, is alive and strong.

And hunting again.

But this time no one is safe.

Everyone Gretel loves is in danger, and she must summon a new level of power and conviction to end her family's nightmare forever.
