Concentrate on the vast Siberian taiga and these claustrophobic wood walls.

Tucked in the trees of a mountainside, these walls used to shelter the three sisters Popov and their impossible bloody secrets.

Now this cabin is home to Song Min-jae, a North Korean fledgling. His hope brought him here, where he rests and recovers from a life of trauma and hunger. It is here in these walls that he discovers two doors, which seem to lead nowhere.

The sisters Popov built those doors.

The youngest built the door in the attic, seeking an escape from her own trauma and hunger. She built her future in a fast and loud world full of problem-solvers just like herself.

The eldest built her door in the bedroom, seeking only God. She was just beginning her abominations when she uprooted the rotting cross from her mother’s grave and reassembled it into the likeness of a door in the dark. In the name of the Father.

And the middle Popov sister, she is a god now.

In these wood walls, Min-jae learns he is not alone. In the late hours, lovely and bloody wonders pass through the dark rooms. Min-jae encounters the former one night, when All H42 emerges from the door in the attic.

All H42 was born to that loud and fast world discovered by the youngest Popov. But All is struggling in secret, scarring their skin to quiet the pain they can’t show. When something else quiets the pain—a door made of a mythic material—All is led to these wood walls, and to Min-jae.

The two grow close, scar tissue included. Min-jae and All find themselves fighting to grow together as their worlds do the opposite, in fire and blood.
