'One is dead, but not forgotten,
A name lived on when the body was rotten . . .'
Sam is scared - more scared than he's ever been before. Each night, when he goes to sleep, he dreams he is going to the same place - a dark, silent forest, choked with dense undergrowth. And then the voices begin . . .
First he hears children chanting - as if they are playing some old game. Then, in the centre of the forest, a hand claws its way out of the ground. Someone - or something - has been brought back to life. What's more, it has come with an astonishing message that Sam cannot afford to ignore . . .
