Description
Never stay out after the Switching Hour... never let the outside
in... Amaya lives with her grandmother, her small brother
Kaleb and her pet goat Tao in a land suffering a terrible drought.
Every night, the doors must be locked after twilight, the Switching
Hour, because the drought has awoken Badoko, a creature that
snatches people away to eat their dreams. Three days later, the
memory that they existed is gone from those that knew them, and those
that are left are afflicted with The Sorrow Sickness - a grief
which consumes a person without them knowing why. When Kaleb is
taken by Badoko, Amaya must journey into the terrifying forest
to find her brother before she forgets him.
