Matty lives with the Seer in the Village. The Village has always been open to visitor but when its residents vote to close it off, Matty must take one last messenger trip tell people of the Village closing and to pick up the Seer's daughter. To do this he must travel through the Forest, something he has done many times, but it has become haunted and more dangerous lately. Can he make it back with the Seer's daughter in time? Is he willing and/or able to face the danger? This 169 page book is a "companion" to her "Giver" and "Gathering Blue." It ties the three together.
