Description
Mistaken is a tiny settlement in the beautiful but brutal Canadian wilderness blessed with rich natural resources—and cursed with unspeakable dangers. Just outside the town’s Warding Stones lurk the Bright-Eyeds, insatiable monsters who have rained utter destruction down on nearby villages. Mistaken’s founders made a deal to protect those who live there, but at a steep cost: anyone who spends a night within its borders belongs to it forever.
Until the day when the man Greer Mackenzie loves disappears beyond the Warding Stones, pursued by a terrifying creature. Determined to rescue him, Greer must find a way to defy Mistaken’s curse and brave the cold and pitiless wilderness. But she herself is being hunted, not only by the ruthless Bright-Eyeds but by the hidden truths behind Mistaken’s founding and her own origins.
This deeply atmospheric adult debut from the #1 New York Timesbestselling author of House of Salt and Sorrows is a stunning celebration of one woman’s unrelenting bravery on a quest to reclaim her lost love—and seize her own future.

Ein Hauch von "The Village" 🌲
Der 1. Teil hat mir sehr gut gefallen, da er mich an die Atmosphäre des Films "The Village " erinnert hat. Es gibt so viele Fragen und Mysterien, die im 2. Teil mehr und mehr entschlüsselt werden. Dennoch war der 2. Teil schwächer und nicht mehr ganz so atmosphärisch düster. Die Protagonistin hat mir jedoch gut gefallen, genauso wie das Setting in einer Kolonie im 18. Jahrhundert. Sprachlich auch sehr schön zu lesen. Klare Empfehlung!
