There is a moment, while the clock strikes twelve, when October ticks into November, as All Hallows' Eve transforms into All Saints' Day, that the sisters Grimm are born and anything is possible . . .
It is almost 3 years since the fours sisters Grimm confronted their father in that strange place called Everwhere. In a month, sisters Goldie, Scarlet and Liyana will be twenty-one. Goldie is still mourning Leo, her waking life barely bearable and she is becoming increasingly estranged from her sisters. Unbeknownst to anyone, she plans to enact a ritual on the night of demons and saints: her intention is to draw on her powers over earth and growth and resurrect Leo's spirit and soul, channelling both into the body of a soldier she'll sacrifice for the purpose.
Meanwhile, Scarlet is happily married and newly pregnant and Liyana is in Ghana, learning more of her family, her culture and history. On her return to England, she learns about Goldie's plan and persuades her sister to try another method of resurrection. The sisters return to Everwhere to perform a voodoo ceremony to bring Leo back. It goes catastrophically, horrifyingly wrong. And during the ritual, something or someone took an unwelcome interest in Scarlet. Returning to our world, her behaviour begins to change. And Liyana too is disturbed by demons of her own - a darkness that calls out to her, whispering, wanting her to do wicked things . . .
And so on the eve of their 21st birthdays, three tormented sisters Grimm - Goldie, Liyana and Scarlet - will meet in Everwhere. There to confront each other, to learn what they have become, to face mortality, and discover the wonder of new and unexpected life . . .
