In the rain-slicked, isolated Welsh valley of Llanmerin, Rhys Talgarth, a stoic third-generation undertaker, believes he understands death. But when the body of a drowned shepherd boy arrives, its internal organs replaced by roots and compacted earth, Rhys's world begins to unravel. As more villagers succumb to inexplicable transformations, their flesh turning to peat, their veins to sap, he unearths a terrifying truth: his family is bound by an ancient, druidic pact to the land itself. The village's god is no longer sleeping beneath the earth, but growing through it, and it hungers. With his wife Megan embracing the terrifying 'salvation' of the awakened earth, and his daughter Elin transforming into a vessel for its ancient consciousness, Rhys must confront the horrifying legacy of his ancestors. Can he sever the cycle, or will he, and all of Llanmerin, be consumed by the inexorable embrace of the Hollow Season? The earth remembers its own.
