In the dense, mist-covered woods just outside of a sleepy town, twelve-year-old Ethan stumbles upon something ancient and terrifying. Hidden in the shadows of towering trees and tangled underbrush, a creature lurks-its eyes glowing with unnatural light, its breath heavy and hot. No one has ever seen it clearly, but whispers of its existence haunt the town's darkest tales.

Ethan never believed in monsters, but now, as he flees through the forest with the sound of snapping branches and guttural growls growing closer, he knows the stories are all too real. With every frantic step, the creature's presence grows, slithering between the trees like a nightmare brought to life. His heart pounds as he navigates the twisted paths, knowing that one wrong turn could lead to his capture-and an unimaginable fate.
,
Desperate and alone, Ethan must rely on his wits to escape the beast stalking him. But the woods are ancient and full of secrets, and the creature might not be the only thing watching.

In the frozen wilderness beyond the village walls, survival isn't guaranteed-it's earned. Grey, a sharp-eyed young hunter gifted with the ability to see ethereal threads of light connecting all living things, walks a thin line between life and death with every step into the snowbound forests. His gift is his greatest tool-and his deepest secret. When the Grand Hunt leads Grey and his squad to a chilling encounter with a monstrous creature and a group of robed strangers led by a sinister old man, the world he thought he knew begins to crack. Ancient powers stir beneath the frost, and the old man's magic reveals a truth far more terrifying than the dangers of the frozen woods. As the village reels from loss, Grey finds himself facing impossible choices. His gift, once a quiet advantage, now feels like a curse drawing him deeper into a conflict he doesn't understand. Shadows whisper of forgotten paths-ancient roads walked by those who sought strength not just to survive, but to transcend. Paths where power can be cultivated, honed, and wielded by those willing to sacrifice everything. But power always comes at a cost. Blood stains the frost, alliances are tested, and every step deeper into the unknown pulls Grey closer to a path he may not be ready to tread-a path where strength isn't just survival, but transformation. And in the depths of the wilderness, where cold winds carry secrets and danger lurks with every shadow, Grey must decide if he's willing to pay the price for what lies beyond.
