The Forest of Burwall has been the subject of legends for a thousand years, and the oldest tales tell of a clan called the Skinned Men, who during the reign of the First King lorded over the woods and filled them with the flayed remains of men, women, and children. But that was a thousand years ago, and though there are thieves and murderers lurking in the forest, all know that such stories are only fit for misbehaved children. Yet when a carriage carrying a noble family north through the woods encounters a waylaid wagon and a scene of carnage they never expected, all bets are off. In Mourning, discover the legends no one's lived to tell.
