THE FORGOTTEN ONES: ESTRID (DE BORTGLÖMDA BARNENS KYRKOGÅRD: ESTRID)

A hidden graveyard, a forgotten girl, and a boy who must decide whether to listen to the past. 

When Ruben takes a shortcut through the forest one day, he falls over a grave. Half-hidden beneath moss and pine needles lies a small, weathered headstone, with only a children’s name.

When Ruben returns days later, he discovers something strange: a hidden and forgotten graveyard concealed beneath the trees. Children buried without families, without stories, without anyone left to remember them.

Then Ruben sees that someone has left a birthday gift placed on one of the graves.

After that, things begin to change. Ruben feels watched. Followed. As if someone is waiting for him to do something he doesn’t yet understand. A darkness stirs inside him, growing stronger each day, harder to control.

The Forgotten Ones: Estrid is the first book in a haunting series about forgotten children, hidden places, and the dangerous power of being remembered.
