Luana and Ralph Lewis da Silva prepare for this, and so do their children, Kaila and Django. It is in November when a stranger appears to collect on a longstanding debt. A price must be paid for the good fortune the Bird Street community enjoys the rest of the year. A sacrifice must be made.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo it has been for more than a century. To assuage their guilt, the residents of Bird Street choose carefully who will be sent into the woods. Usually, it is an elderly or terminally ill individual who wishes to enter the void with dignity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut this year, things don't go to plan and events take a terrifying turn. . . .\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e HarperCollins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/06\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780063472525\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eOlde Heuvelt, Thomas:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThomas Olde\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHeuvelt \u003c\/strong\u003eis an international bestselling author from The Netherlands and the first translated author to win a Hugo Award.
