Then
Alice arrived in New York on her eighteenth birthday, carrying only a stolen camera and six hundred dollars in cash. She wants to start anew, but a month later... becomes the last unidentified murder victim.
Ruby Jones is also trying to...
start life over; she has traveled half the world, but has not become happier, on the contrary, she feels even lonelier. And then she finds Alice's body by the river.
And an unbreakable connection arises between the two girls.
Now
Alice is convinced that Ruby is the key to unraveling the mystery of her life... and death. And Ruby, desperately trying to forget what she saw that morning, discovers that she cannot let go of Alice. At least until her soul finds peace and what it needs.

17 years ago
On a deep dark night, a young woman, rejected by all the residents of her village, dies on a bloody bed. A half-smile plays on her tortured face, her gaze directed into the moonlit forest. The last words of the girl that the midwife heard after the birth of the unhappy child are: "The curse... a little curse, just as she said...". And then a sickening bubbling laughter spreads throughout the house, heralding imminent catastrophe.
Our time
Young Immanuel struggles to live by the laws of the Church and follow the Holy Scriptures. She should not doubt the necessity of strict rules — after all, it was here, on the outskirts of Bethel, that the first Prophet
defeated powerful witches and cleansed the land of Evil. A chance lures Immanuel into the forbidden forest, where she receives her deceased mother's diaries and learns the truth about the real history of the Church. Determined, she begins to act, as the real threat to Bethel is not remote evil forces, but those who live beside every day.
