About this ebook

Soojin has always known the rules - never bring back anything larger than her palm from the dead, but that was before Mirae died.

'Eerie and haunting.' Trang Thanh Tran, author of She is a Haunting

Sister, I hear you. I feel your hands in the dirt, beckoning. I will answer your call – I’ll return.

Soojin and Mirae have the rare ability to reanimate the dead. The sisters have brought back countless creatures, but always mindful of the warning never to resurrect anything larger than the palm of their hand.

When Mirae is found drowned in the river that cuts through their small, sleepy town, Soojin is beside herself with grief. She disregards every rule and uses her magic to bring her sister back. At first the pair revel in the miracle of being reunited, but Mirae soon grows tired of hiding from the world. She becomes restless and hungry…

As the town is rocked by a series of harrowing, unusual deaths, Soojin fears the sister she brought back to life isn’t the one she knew.
