As I sink into deeper sleep, I feel something like Alice on her way down the rabbit hole to Wonderland. I feel myself falling... My mind is filled with visions of pale faces peering out from behind dark trees, the form of a boy sleeping in a cave, giant spiders, and rocking chairs. After waking up in an unfamiliar forest, Kyleah is dismayed to find that she has no recollection of who she is or how she came to be in these woods. Accepting a stranger's help, Kyleah takes refuge in a dilapidated mansion that houses a number of oddities, including a master who whiles away his evenings spinning yarn. Determined to reclaim her memories, Kyleah embarks on a journey to the castle of a man called Grim. There, she is expected to offer up a mysterious bundle, whose contents are obscured by gray strings that have been wound around them like a cocoon. In return, she will be given her memories. As the journey progresses and Kyleah begins to realize what Grim embodies, she wonders at the true nature of the exchange and what exactly she is giving up in exchange for her own life.
