Cursed to die the next time he falls asleep, Olyver Brody's only hope of staying awake is a rare yellow root. But to obtain the root, he'll have to deliver an innocent young girl into the arms of a murderous witch.
Olyver Brody has been cursed. He will die the next time he falls asleep. Only a rare root keeps him awake, and only a murderous witch knows where to find it. For years, Olyver has done the witch's bidding, luring young children to her cottage and a tragic fate. But everything changes when Olyver escorts his newest victim-- a serene young girl-- into the heart of the dark forest.—Anonymous
