Every Solstice, Ellyn Marwell watches the same curse swallow Fars Hallow whole.

Every Solstice, she stays. Bound by her family's legacy and her duty to protect the village and its people.

But this year, everything changes.

Determined to break the curse once and for all, she sets a trap for the creature roaming the longest night of the year.

The truth she uncovers is nothing like she expected.

Forced to collaborate with the very being she imprisoned, Ellyn will have to walk through the darkness she was taught to fear.

When dawn comes, will she be able to walk away from what she found within the night?
