Beyond the cliffs that border the known world lies nothing anyone can name, but within the lands of Nailton there are older fears, whispered stories of the Dark Woods, a cursed forest separated from the world by fields of black razor grass where the smell of rot hangs permanently in the air and the sounds that echo beneath the trees do not belong to anything natural. When three childhood friends hear tales of ruined castles, laughing creatures in the dark, and a monster said to dwell deep within the forest, it feels like nothing more than distant legend, until one reckless moment changes all of their lives forever. Marcus enters the woods and never returns, leaving behind only guilt, unanswered questions, and a silence that follows Fiona and Dan into adulthood. Years later, with wealth, status, and a future finally within reach, the two are offered one final journey through the very forest they once swore never to approach again, a route worth more gold than either of them has ever seen. But the deeper they travel into the Dark Woods, the clearer it becomes that the stories were never warnings meant to frighten children. Something ancient waits beneath the ruins hidden there, something tied to the mysterious lich whispered about for generations, and the truth behind it is far more tragic, and far more dangerous, than either of them could have imagined. A dark fantasy tragedy written in modern prose with the spirit of classic myth and legend, this is the beginning of a larger world filled with forgotten kingdoms, ancient evils, cursed forests, and wars still waiting beyond the horizon.
