"They answered my questions, they told me stories. But I know it's not the whole truth. They're hiding something."

Stark darkness, mysterious faces, and memory loss. A girl wakes up all alone in a strange place, and she doesn't even know where to run and hide. Why was she even there in the first place? Surely something that happened to her some time ago has something to do with what is happening now.


                                                      ꘏


The year is 1992, and it is late August in the small Virginian town of Cresthaven. School is only a few weeks away, so there's still some time left to have fun. Friends hang out together to play and have adventures, and the trio of Jasmine, Luna and Ivy is no exception. Yet after some misunderstandings and jealousy, two of them make their way into the woods. What could possibly go wrong? After all, all those warnings of their parents that are always wary about the woods are just them being dramatic and overprotective. All those stories of witchcraft and demonic entities surrounding the town are just all up in their heads. As far as all the kids know, real demons look just like the rest of us, and it could be anyone.
