The Sweetlands. A magical world made entirely of sweets — the streets, the storms, the people, the dreams. A place where children can find wonder while they find themselves.

Or it was.

Now nine-year-old Willem is stranded inside a candy kingdom gone wrong, with no way home and no one to trust — except for Cindy, an eight-year-old girl who has never known what it means to be safe.

Together, they'll discover the only way out of this nightmare is through the candy-coated dark.
