«Quien habla es el pasado, testarudo en sus ecos…» Ni siquiera la guerra se atreve a entrar en Urrun, un pueblo plagado de espíritus y cercado por un Bosque imbuido de voluntad que pide sacrificios a sus vecinos a cambio de favores. En Urrun se vive así, con el dolor de los difuntos clavado en los huesos y la soga de una deuda con el Bosque alrededor del cuello. Cuando su padre fallece, Lander Herrera regresa a Urrun haciendo de tripas corazón y con la idea de volver a las trincheras cuanto antes. La encantada casa de los Herrera, que late y respira al compás de sus pasos, acogerá a Lander, y este pronto sospechará que lo que le ha traído de vuelta a Urrun es en realidad una deuda familiar con el Bosque que solo él puede saldar. Las raíces recuerdan tu nombre es un inquietante regreso a casa, y una revisita deslumbrante a las maldiciones generacionales y al pesar que arrastran los secretos familiares que dormitan en los rincones de cualquier pueblo y cualquier hogar.

He can’t even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he’s been asleep for a very, very long time. And he’s just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company. His crewmates dead, his memories fuzzily returning, Ryland realizes that an impossible task now confronts him.

And with the clock ticking down and the nearest human being light-years away, he’s got to do it all alone. Or does he?
