About this book
In What Comes Before, Molly Macabre follows Tess as she heads to an isolated cabin, hoping for a calm escape from a demanding job and the pressure of everyone around her. Instead of rest, she finds herself trapped in a forest that offers anything but peace.
There she meets Aiden, another stranded soul, and the two try to find a way out together. But the woods are hiding a warped force beneath the trees, one that combines a childlike mind with an ancient streak of cruelty. As Tess and Aiden realize they are part of a dark game beyond their control, the story turns into a tense fight against something that does not want to release them.
