Emilie Auburn is the only thing that stands between humanity and the darkness of a growing, inescapable forest, but as of now, she's just a freshly enrolled Watchmen, volunteers protecting their home town of Lily Cove. Theirs.
After her home town of Greenwood is razed to the ground, Emilie lives in Lily Cove, a closed-off capital city nestled deep into the forest that has mysteriously stopped all trade with the small towns around it, leaving them starved for resources and barely holding off the advancing forest.
When things become extreme and the town's cracks begin to spread, Emilie's life spirals out of control, plunging her into a desperate journey across the mutated wilderness and into corners unknown. She faces threats beyond her understanding: man-eating creatures of the night, soulless vampires, townsfolk on the edge of murder or suicide after years of starving and suffering, demons in plain sight, and even her own sexuality. Will she succeed in finding herself and saving the people she loves, or will she crumble to the mysterious wild beyond the worn gates of Lily Cove?
