At the lake's edge, I made my promise. In the forest, I will fall.
The curse that haunted Lakesedge Estate has been broken, but at great cost. Violeta Graceling has sacrificed herself to end the Corruption.
To escape death, Leta makes a desperate bargain with the Lord Under, one that sees her living at his side in the land of the dead. And though he claims to have given her all he promised, Leta knows this world of souls and mist hides many secrets.
When she discovers she is still bound to Rowan, Leta goes to drastic lengths to reforge their connection. But her search for answers, and a path back home, will see her drawn into even more dangerous bargains, and struggling to resist the allure of a new, dark, power.

I enjoyed the first book, Lakesedge so was looking forward to this sequel, Forestfall. I really enjoyed this book. You need to have read the first book to truly understand the characters and everything that happens in this book. Like the first book, I loved the word occupied by Rowan and Violeta, dark, twisted and mysterious. The book is quite sad as the characters learn the true cost of Violeta's heroic actions.
