Cursed as a young girl to see the monsters other humans can’t, the girl called Gingerbread uses her unnatural eyes, along with her sword, to protect people from what they don’t believe in.

But she never thought to find the witch that cursed her 10 years after the woman was burned alive.

She warns the caravan she’s traveling with not to tempt the ghost of the Piping Witch, but charismatic Nikolas ignores her, eager to explore the infamous Woods of Winter White. He’s intrigued by the dangerous tales, as well as enchanted by the snowy beauty of the wood, until one of the children traveling with them vanishes into the night.

Gingerbread races to find the missing girl in time, only to stumble headlong into a battle between the Piping Witch and the Winter Whites themselves, one the witch is already so close to winning. Only a little more magic, and the witch won’t be a memory anymore, but once again a living, flesh and blood nightmare. Gingerbread will give everything to stop her, even if it means joining the legion of phantoms already trapped beneath the trees, but will that sacrifice be enough to keep the Piping Witch from returning?
