The Witch of the Woods

While on the run from her abusive older brother, her only remaining family, Adalie comes across a severely injured forest spirit named Koa, who begs Adalie for help.

Adalie takes them to nearby ruins of a grand old manor, where the spirit explains that they were attacked by a dangerous creature known as The Hybrid, a minion of the Dark Emperor Kaldareth.

He rules over the Isen forest with an iron fist, so when he heard the locals whispering about a secret prophecy, one that speaks of a human girl leading to his downfall, he sent out his minions on a relentless search, attacking innocent spirits and animals, questioning them on whether they've seen her, and then killing them, so the girl won't know of her destiny should she come across one of his victims.

Luckily, the Hybrid was sloppy, and Koa is still alive... but barely. They strike a deal with Adalie. I exchange for her help in collecting the ingredients required to make a potion which will save them, Koa will free her from living her brother.

So Adalie sets out on a dangerous quest, aided by a mysterious yet strikingly handsome river spirit, Zyair. Thrown into a dark new fantasy world crawling with watchful eyes and lingering threats, will Adalie succeed and save Koa? Or will she be captured by the cruel Emperor whose only goal is to kill her?
