In a world where the Bloodroot Forest looms, its dark presence has always left a mark on those around it. Once, a bustling city thrived at its heart, messengers traveling back and forth with no trouble. But when the messengers stopped returning, all hope that the forest could be tamed or habitable, vanished. Now, bodies are turning up near the borders of the forest. The causes of death unknown, but one thing is for certain: an external force is at work. Selene, one of the continent's most skilled healers, is called upon to uncover the truth. Along with a group of companions, she must venture into the heart of the forest to solve the mystery of the deaths and discover why the city went silent. As local legend says, the Bloodroot Forest has eyes-you're always being watched.
