A lone child. A wandering beast. A fate entwined in shadow.
Emric is only thirteen, but he carries the weight of a man's duty. His mother lies ill with a sickness known as Death's Root, his father is missing, and the village sees him as nothing more than a boy pretending at strength. Desperate, he flees to the river's edge, where fate delivers him into the path of something out of legend-a beast that speaks.
Varik is no ordinary creature. Once a hunter, now a hunted thing, he stalks the wilds with old wounds and older regrets. When he finds Emric alone, his instincts tell him to leave. But something in the boy's eyes reminds him of a past he cannot escape. When an ancient horror emerges from the woods, whispering doom into the boy's mind, Varik makes a choice: to stand and fight.
Bound by necessity, pursued by horrors both known and forgotten, the boy and the beast must journey beyond the safety of the village and into the heart of the unknown. Dark things stir in the dying wood, and neither of them can run from the past forever.
But when the beast speaks... will the world listen?
