Beyond the forest resides a creature of grotesque appearance, but with a heart full of love. Driven by the desire to no longer be alone, it explores through the forest to find a new world. In its search, it finds a town not far from the grove filled with merriment. But is despised for its appearance. The creature could do nothing but watch from a distance, desiring to be accepted.
Until a day came, Leofwine, a young boy from the town, discovers the grove. And the creature that resides there. The tale follows how the boy befriended the creature, and an allegory on the acceptance of sexuality.
Besha made a promise to her dying mother to find the brother she had never met. When she was forced to leave sooner than planned, she had no currency to pay for transport to the village where Tran lived.
Her only choice was to hike, and to reach the village she had to cross the Whispering Forest. It was rumoured to be protected by a beast who lured people into the forest with magic.
Besha decided to try her luck, but the beast turned out to be an unexpected surprise, in many ways.
