Will Phoenix be able to find The Enchanted golden apple in time to save her zombie brother? Phoenix dreams of seeing the world outside the high walls of her village. One day, she breaks the rules and leaves the walls to see the dark forest she's heard tales of.
It is a magical forest, but Phoenix's forbidden trip has dire consequences for her brother, Xander. When Phoenix returns from the forest, she finds that Xander has been turned into a dreadful, moaning zombie! Now Phoenix has no choice. She must leave the village to find Xander's cure. But beyond the walls are dangers far worse than zombies. Phoenix will have to conquer treacherous enemies-as well as her own fears-to find the enchanted golden apple, which is the only hope for her brother to return to his normal self.
