When The Thicket Gave Way

Sable has never belonged.

Misunderstood by her village and suffocated by the life expected of her, she finds solace beneath the ancient canopy of the endless thicket-a wilderness older than memory, where the trees whisper secrets and the forest seems to welcome her as one of its own.

Deep within the forest, an ancient satyr watches.

Vaelthadionyx has guarded the thicket for centuries, content to let mortal lives pass beyond the trees unnoticed.

Until a stubborn village girl catches his eye.

What begins as curiosity soon becomes something far more difficult to ignore. For the more time Sable spends beneath the canopy, the harder it becomes to imagine the forest without her.

And somewhere beyond the roots and branches, an ancient power watches with quiet approval.

For some belong to the world that raised them.

And some belong to the wild.
