But Darian MacGlenary doesn't want to be found. And when he sees her traipsing up his Appalachian hollow, he wonders what a girl like her is doing in his neck of the woods. The burly and bearded mountain man has tucked himself far into the backwoods on purpose.

In the quiet town of Devontae, a foreboding forest on the edge of the community is the source of countless whispered warnings and eerie legends. Despite his parents' strict advice to avoid the forest, Ash, a daring and adventurous young boy, is irresistibly drawn to its dark mysteries. Armed with nothing but a flashlight and a compass, Ash sneaks out one moonlit night to uncover the truth behind the forest's menacing reputation. As Ash ventures deeper into the forest, the path soon vanishes, leaving him lost and disoriented. The sounds of cracking bones and a chilling presence force Ash into a desperate sprint for safety.

The next day, Ash's encounter with the creature and the symbol haunts him, driving him to seek answers. His search leads him to Mr. Thompson, the town's historian, who reveals the symbol's connection to a guardian of the forest known as the Feralim.

Determined to uncover the truth and lift the curse that now binds him, Ash prepares for another foray into the forest. As he defies his father's orders and sneaks out under the cover of darkness, he realizes that the forest's secrets are far more perilous than he ever imagined.
