In Otter's world, the dead are everywhere and even patches of shadow can be dangerous. She lives in the small forest village of Westmost, considered to be the very edge of the world, the last place before the never ending uninhabited wilderness.
The daughter of the village's binder, a woman with great power and able to repel the dead by tying intricate knots, Otter leads a life safer than most. One day she hopes to follow in her mother's footsteps and become a binder. But things begin to go terribly wrong. Her mother's power is beginning to fray and destroy the village instead of project it. And the most feared dead creature of them all, a White Hand, is lurking in the shadows, ready to strike. Can Otter find the strength to save those she loves, and the power to fight the dead?
