Milla’s whole world is her family’s farm. She is never allowed to travel to the village, and her only friend is her beloved older brother, Niklas. When a bright-eyed girl named Iris comes to stay, Milla hopes her loneliness might finally be coming to an end. But Iris has a secret she’s forbidden to share: The village is cursed by a demon who possesses girls at random, and the townspeople live in terror of who it will come for next. Now, it seems, the demon has come for Iris.

Alys er ikke almindelig. Hun kan mærke en sælsom forbindelse til Udyret, der lurer i skovene. Hun kan mærke en endnu stærkere samhørighed med de to smukke søstre, der hjemsøger landsbyen og æder folks sjæle. Men hvem er Alys? Er hun et godt menneske? Eller en ond skabning? Alys forsøger at skjule sine evner, men hun ved, at Udyret aldrig giver op. Det gør sjæleæderne heller ikke. Hvad vil de med hende? Den amerikanske YA-forfatter Peternelle van Arsdale debuterede med den dystre og spændende fantasy-roman "Udyret" i 2007.

Alys was seven when the soul eaters came to her village. These soul eaters, twin sisters who were abandoned by their father and slowly morphed into something not quite human, devour human souls. Alys, and all the other children, were spared - and they were sent to live in a neighboring village. There the devout people created a strict world where good and evil are as fundamental as the nursery rhymes children sing. Fear of the soul eaters - and of the Beast they believe guides them - rules village life.
