**Long ago, a village made a bargain with the devil: to ensure their prosperity, when the Slaughter Moon rises, the village must sacrifice a young man to the depths of the Devil's Forest.** Only this year, the Slaughter Moon has risen early. Bound by duty, secrets, and the love they share for one another, Mariwen, a spirited witch; Rhun, the expected saint; and Arthur, a restless outcast, will each have a role to play as the devil demands a body to fill the bargain. But the devil these friends find is not the one they expect, and the lies they uncover will turn their town--and their hearts--inside out. **Something's gone wrong with the bargain....** This description comes from the publisher.
