Axlin ha crecido siendo consciente de que cualquier día le puede tocar a ella. Su gente ha sobrevivido a los monstruos durante generaciones y ha aprendido a evitarlos en la medida de lo posible. Pero un día Axlin descubre que existen muchos tipos de monstruos diferentes, que cada aldea se enfrenta a sus propias pesadillas y que hay criaturas que no conoce y ante las que no sabe cómo defenderse.

Axlin es la escriba de su aldea, la única que sabe leer y escribir. Debido a ello, nadie de su entorno comprende realmente la importancia de su trabajo. Pero ella se ha propuesto investigar todo lo que pueda sobre los monstruos y plasmar sus descubrimientos en un libro que pueda servir de guía y protección a otras personas. Por eso decide partir con los buhoneros en una larga ruta para reunir la sabiduría ancestral de las aldeas en su precaria lucha contra los monstruos. No obstante, a lo largo de su viaje descubrirá cosas que jamás habría imaginado cuando partió.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Axlin's world is full of monsters. Some attack travelers on the roads, others besiege and completely destroy the villages, and others go into people's houses at night and take the children while they sleep.

Axlin has grown up being aware that any day could be her day. Her people have been able to escape the monsters for generations and have learned to avoid them as much as possible.

One day Axlin discovers that there are many different types of monsters, that each village faces its own nightmares, and that there are creatures that she doesn't know and therefore doesn't know how to defend herself from them.

Axlin is the only scribe in her village, the only one who can read and write. Because of this, no one around her understands the importance and relevance of her work. But she has set out to investigate everything she can about those monsters and compile her findings in a book that can serve as a guide and protection for other people. So, she decides to join the peddlers on a long journey to gather the different villages' ancestral wisdom in their dangerous fight against the monsters. However, throughout her trip she will discover things she would never have imagined.
