Mary has been raised on stories passed down from her great-great-great-grandmother about life before the coming of zombies. Where the two paths lead, no one knows, for the Sisterhood says the village is the only human habitation left on Earth. There are only three ways through the fence: gates that open on paths that are themselves enclosed by fencing, expelling those who've been infected. The village is surrounded by fences beyond lies only forest. Mary lives in a town ruled by the Sisterhood and the Guardians. The forest thus profoundly influences all the action of the novel. However, the fence that protects these villagers also imprisons them within a dystopian society marked by violence, secrecy, and repression. They roam the titular forest, seeking to destroy a band of survivors barricaded inside a walled village deep in the woods. As the story opens, an unexplained disaster has turned much of the human race into mindless, cannibalistic undead.
