Someone, the Lord or the Devil, I couldn't tell if it was the work of one rather than the other, but someone sent me back and I intend to make the most of this second chance." When Dora's young life is taken violently by Bogdan, in the name of a sick and unshared love, the quiet remote village in Romania where they both live is in the grip of the supernatural. The girl's death reveals dark secrets about her origins: Dora is the daughter of the Zburător. She is a moroiniță. And everyone knows that the those of her kind return to avenge their death.... Always. *Reading is recommended for adult audiences. e.
