"What do you mean you didn't bring the tape!? That was part of your role! And why did you let Akira leave by herself? Are you crazy!?" Kaito exclaimed, running his fingers through his messy hair turning away from his teary-eyed best friend as he frantically looked around, trying his best to map out where they had come from, failing miserably as almost every direction he turned looked exactly like the last. "Listen I'm sorry! I-I just forgot about it, I was worried about A-Akari! I didn't mean to let her leave and I-... I just left the tent hoping to find her before you woke up... " Rina cried out, mumbling the last part to herself hoping Kaito didn't hear as she looked off to the side; focusing on the twisted, bent trees nervous to even look at him anymore.

Kaito, his best friend Rina, and his little sister Akari all went out on a hike into the infamous woods of the Aokigahara forest, otherwise known as "Suicide Forest", to test for themselves the truth of the many myths and urban legends surrounding the mysterious forest. It was meant to be a fun little adventure and camping trip, just like when they were little kids, except it doesn't end with all of them going home free.

Sometimes love is the strongest magic of all
***
Nineteen-year-old Rhia Greenbrook has lived in the sleepy town of Oakriver in a house with three generations of witches her entire life. Rhia draws her magic from the earth and likes to spend her time amongst plants and nature. Her practice is gentle, sacred, and-per her family's tradition-secret.
New-to-town witch Valerie Morgan is looking for answers about her mother's disappearance from Oakriver seventeen years ago. Without her mother's guidance, Valerie has cultivated her fire magic on her own and she makes no effort to keep her powers hidden. Although Rhia is immediately annoyed by Valerie's blatant use of magic, she can't deny the instant magnetism between them.
But amidst their magical connection, a dark presence looms over Oakriver. Unsettling visions from Rhia's grandmother and dangerous sleepwalking episodes throw into question Valerie's past and what role her presence plays in the strange happenings. And as Valerie gets tangled up further into the darkness, it's up to Rhia to tap into the full potential of her power in order to save the town she loves and the girl she's fallen for.
