South-Eastern Germany, 1347: 

We follow the journey of Gisel, a serf at a Monastery, who dreams of liberty in the monastery's herb garden amidst daily torment from the nuns. Her life takes a dramatic turn when she overhears a crucial conversation about the monastery's finances between the Bishop and the Prioress, leading to her discovery and subsequent sale to another monastery. However, Hildegard, the herbalist and Gisel's supporter, intervenes, allowing Lorenz, the monastery's carpenter who has long courted Gisel, to buy her freedom. They embark on a challenging new life as settlers in the Bohemian Forest. Joining a group led by the locator Elias, they move from Passau to Freiung, where they want to build a new settlement. Here, Gisel experiences the bitter and sweet aspects of her newfound freedom.

Gisel's story is one of resilience and self-discovery. Freed by Elias, she fights for survival and gradually rebuilds her life in Freiung, learning the true essence of freedom.

20 parts Complete
In the quiet, superstitious town of Hollow's End, whispers circulate about a boy who lives deep in the woods-a boy cursed with half the face of a skeleton, feared by all who dare to speak his name. The townspeople warn that the forest is haunted, urging everyone to stay far from its shadowy borders. Lily, a daring 19-year-old who has never believed in old tales, sneaks into the woods one night, driven by her unshakable curiosity. There, she meets Kael, a mysterious and brooding figure whose life has been marred by a curse that forced him into isolation. Kael, now 23, lives alone in a secluded cabin, hiding behind a mask that conceals the skeletal half of his face. To his surprise, Lily isn't frightened by his appearance-she sees past the curse to the man he truly is. As the two grow closer, their bond begins to challenge the very beliefs that have kept Kael isolated for years. But the curse that haunts Kael runs deeper than anyone in the town knows. As Lily delves into the mystery of what really happened to Kael, she discovers that the curse isn't just about his appearance-it's tied to a dark secret that could destroy them both. In The Phantom of the Woods, Lily and Kael must face the unknown together, unearthing the truth behind the curse and testing whether love can break through the barriers of fear and isolation. Their journey leads them into the heart of the forest's darkness, where secrets, danger, and the very essence of Kael's humanity are at stake.
