But discovery comes with enemies and pulling all the strings is something even darker than the secret in the woods. Michaela must step quickly into a world she never knew existed if she wants to survive out here in the dark.

The only humans anyone expects to see are the few that know of the tiny people's existence. But the tribes are not alone in the forest anymore. The abductions begin. The past awakens. And a long forgotten shadow falls over the forest.
