Never been told

For twenty-four years, Evan Clark believed his life in the quiet village of Oudewater was exactly what it seemed. But following the sudden passing of his father, Evan inherits more than just the family bookstore. Deep within his father's locked desk lies a hidden manuscript containing detailed sketches of mythical creatures and a chilling confession: humanity is living a lie.

Decades ago, a forbidden magic wiped the world's memory clean of a terrible sin. His father was the only human left who remembered the truth...until now.

When a ethereal, white-haired girl steals the manuscript and flees into the forbidden Black Forest...a place where humans collapse from agonizing pain-Evan must make a choice. To reclaim his father's legacy, he will have to step into the dark, face the spirit of a forgotten past, and uncover the truth that was never meant to be told.
