Peter had to flee Daggorhorn years earlier when his father was caught stealing and his horse reared and killed Henry’s mother. Valerie is shocked when her childhood friend Peter is among the workers. The girls are excited when harvest time arrives because it means young men from other towns will come to work in the village. While her friends and Lucie all swoon over Henry, the blacksmith’s son, Valerie longs to know what lies outside the village walls.

Everyone in Daggorhorn loves Lucie’s grace and kindness, while most wonder at Valerie’s free spirit and peculiar ways.

Valerie has always been different from her older sister, Lucie. This uneasy truce was agreed to years earlier in order to keep the beast from killing the people within the town walls. Then they take turns leaving a sacrifice to appease the werewolf that stalks the woods. The villagers of Daggorhorn lead quiet lives except for when the full moon rises.
