"The deadly dark fairy tale from masters of folk-horror Cullen Bunn (Harrow County, Invasive) and Christopher Mitten (Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.) writes a frightful new chapter. Sisters Sommer and Winter are shaken and bewildered in the wake of a goblin horde smashing apart their family's vacation cabin and absconding into the night with their parents. But the mysterious, jagged, hulking sword they stumbled on as they fled into the forest offers the young girls surprising strength, agility, and a vicious means to fight back. When they seek shelter with an old couple in the woods, they learn the truth behind the monsters, the fairies, the withering realm known as the Autumn Kingdom, and the deadly sacrifice it requires..."

Bestselling author Andrew Kier found the perfect place to finish his latest dark-fantasy novel — an idyllic, remote cabin on the edge of a lush Swedish forest. His young daughters, Sommer and Winter, gleefully explore... until they happen upon a strange clearing of ancient statues: goblins, dwarves, elves, and a warrior queen mysteriously missing her swordhand and weapon. When something sinister follows the girls home and viciously snatches their parents in the night, the sisters' only hope may be that ancient relic, lost in the forest underbrush, waiting for a new champion to take it up..."

Sommer and Winter descend into the Autumn Kingdom, so close to rescuing their parents, but shaken and more aware than ever with what they stand to lose in this fight.

Only their sword and their unbreakable bond will tell..."

"The deathly dark fairy tale from master of horror Cullen Bunn (Invasive, Harrow County) and Christopher Mitten (Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.) descends the treacherous path toward its bloody conclusion! Sisters Sommer and Winter hunt for clues about how to rescue their parents from the monsters who stole them in the night. What does it mean that they were taken through "the Blight," where is this mysterious Autumn Kingdom, who are the forest dwellers who so willingly sacrifice outsiders to the murderous fairies, and why does the giant sword they found in the underbrush grant them preternatural fighting abilities, as if it thirsts for goblin blood?"
