This young adult mystery horror takes us to a remote borderline village in an intentionally unspecified place and time where people still live by their own rules and still believe in old gods. Twelve years ago, four children suddenly disappeared without trace. Now during the winter solstice, three of them returned out of nowhere as adults with no memory of what happened to them. Astrid, Tom and Sonja have to unite to face the prejudice of the villagers and to find out, what happened to them and where the fourth missing child is – Astrid’s brother Max. Twelve nights after the winter solstice is the most dangerous time of the year as the border between human world and underworld is thin. And the kids – now adults – will discover that the ghosts from their nightmares are real and waiting for them. The book has great sales figures in the Czech Republic, the origin country of the author - over 60,000 copies sold. The author is known as the "Czech Stephen King" in her homeland. Albatros Media is an established publisher of YA books and it publishes the Harry Potter series in the Czech Republic.
