A mouse, Isabelle, is kidnapped at birth by an immortal rat, Zokir, and raised to believe she is his daughter and a descendant of the rodent god, Mim. Growing up in the Gravewood, a forest mysteriously devoid of life, she begins questioning why Zokir keeps her squirreled away in an empty castle within an even emptier wood. As Isabelle takes matters into her own paws, she soon discovers a harrowing truth: invisible creatures sleep within the wood. She also discovers something else: she alone has the power to wake them up.
